- Put the sliced onion and stir fry with a spatula until the onion is soft or caramelized.
- Add the thinly sliced beef into the pan. Stir fry and let the beef slices turn to brown color.
- Let it simmer for a few minutes until the color is brown enough. Finally, have a taste. If you like it a little bit sweeter, you can add half teaspoon of sugar to it. For me, the flavor is just perfect! The sweetness and savoury taste are well-balanced.

Notes
- Use very thinly sliced beef. I highly recommend rib eye beef slices. They become tender easily because of the texture of the meat and the thinness of the slices.
- Prepare hot, steamy rice. This recipe can be divided into 3 - 4 bowls of rice.
- It is easier to use dry dashi packet from Asian grocery store. You can make your own dashi (Japanese soup stock) This is also useful if you want to make miso soup.
- When the beef is no longer pink in color or crinkle in shape, you can turn off the stove. It should be tender enough. Do not overcook it.
- If you like to drizzle beaten eggs on the beef, you can do so. Cover the pan with a lid after pouring the beaten eggs. Let the egg set to your liking.
