Yoshinoya-style gyudon / Japanese beef and rice bowl


I've spent most of my time yesterday googling Japanese beef rice bowl recipe . There are so many variations online that I was getting cross-eyed of what recipe to try . I never really thought that this dish is so easy to make and can't help but said out loud ,  why didn't I make it before ? 

I think some of you have already eaten at Yoshinoya . It's a popular Japanese fast food chain with branches all over the world . Beef bowl is their bestseller . I love eating there , the food is filling and cheap to boot ! Hey , I'm always on a budget lol 

Making this dish straightforward . Depending on what cut of beef you're using , cooking time varies . I used the cut of beef that I usually use for stir fries , the cut that is also use when doing hot pot . It's thin and has a good marbling and really good for this kind of dish .


This dish calls for dashi granules ( some recipe use dashi stock ) but since I don't have it , I used chicken powder instead .

If you wonder if it tastes like the beef rice bowl of Yoshinoya .....

Definitely ! 


Please check original recipe @ Cookpad

  2. Hi Anne! I love eating (and making) this rice bowl dish too. Fast, easy and best of all delicious! I like pouring a beaten egg over the beaf slices when the beef is almost done, which also means just one pan to wash for a meal :)))

    1. Bal , I don't know if it'll work with chicken but just try it ! Or you can make chicken teriyaki as your rice topping , Yoshinoya has that on their menu ;D
