Description
Tender onions and ground beef cooked in a sweet and savory sauce, these Japanese-inspired beef and rice bowls are a spin on the flavors of Gyudon. Adapted to use easy to find ingredients and ground beef, these hearty bowls are a simple and delicious comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/4–1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 cup water
- 4 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 cups uncooked rice of choice (or 4 cups cooked)
- chopped green onions, for serving (optional)
- sesame seeds, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the avocado oil and onions. Cook, stirring often until softened and starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
- Step 2: Add the ground beef, honey and salt and cook, stirring to crumble until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Step 3: Add the coconut aminos, rice vinegar and water and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, prepare the rice as per package directions and prepare a skillet for cooking the eggs. When the beef is almost done simmering, cook the eggs sunny-side up or as desired.
- Step 5: Assemble the bowls. Divide the rice between 4 bowls and top each bowl with a quarter of the beef/onion mixture. Top each with an egg.
- Step 6: Serve. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Only cook enough eggs for the amount you are planning to eat and cook additional eggs fresh for serving. Tamari or soy sauce can be used in place of coconut aminos.
