Ingredients

• 300 grams lean beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 4 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 onion, medium and thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 150 grams broccoli florets
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 2 spring onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, sake, water, and sugar to create the donburi sauce.

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté gently until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook until soft and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the julienned carrot and broccoli florets. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the thinly sliced beef to the empty space. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides.

Step 7

Pour the previously prepared donburi sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

In a serving bowl, place a portion of cooked brown rice. Top with the beef and vegetable mixture.

Step 9

Garnish each bowl with chopped spring onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your healthy low-fat beef donburi!
