I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. This past Saturday my Chicken Adobo made it Top 9 dish on Foodbuzz. To me and my husband, it was really like winning the lottery because we didn’t expect it at all. I would like to thank all my readers for visiting my site. I’ve been working hard for my website and I really appreciate your time here. And for those of you who found me through the Foodbuzz Top 9 link, welcome! I am sincerely happy if you enjoy my website and recipes.
Now let’s talk about today’s recipe. In my previous post (just below), I talked about this great sauce called Shiso Garlic Soy Sauce. Today’s recipe is a Beef Donburi using this sauce.

Beef Donburi with Shiso Garlic Soy Sauce
Ingredients
- ½ onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 potato (cut into thin strips)
- neutral oil (for sautéing)
For the Beef Mixture
- ¾ lb thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye) (cut into strips; I used thinly sliced “shabu shabu“ beef from a Japanese grocery store; you can thinly slice meat at home)
- 1 Tbsp sake
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp potato starch or cornstarch
For the Donburi Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp Homemade Shiso Garlic Soy Sauce (make in advance using my recipe)
For Serving
- 3 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice (typically 1⅔ cups (250 g) per donburi serving)
Instructions
- Before You Start: For the steamed rice, please note that 2¼ cups (450 g, 3 rice cooker cups) of uncooked Japanese short-grain rice yield 6⅔ cups (990 g) of cooked white rice, enough for 3 donburi servings (5 cups, 750 g). See how to cook short-grain rice with a rice cooker, pot over the stove, Instant Pot, or donabe.
- In a large bowl, combine the meat mixture: ¾ lb thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye), 1 Tbsp sake, 1 tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and 1 Tbsp potato starch or cornstarch. Mix well with your hands.
To Cook
- In a nonstick frying pan, heat a bit of neutral oil on medium heat. Add ½ onion (thinly sliced) and 1 potato (cut into thin strips) and cook until tender.
- Add the meat to the pan and cook thoroughly until it is cooked through.
- Add 2 Tbsp sugar and 3 Tbsp Homemade Shiso Garlic Soy Sauce and mix all together.
- Let it simmer for a few minutes. Divide 3 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice into individual donburi (large) bowls. Serve the beef mixture over the rice. [optional] Take out the perilla leaves from the Shiso Garlic Soy Sauce and cut into thin strips. Sprinkle them on top of the beef and serve immediately.
To Store
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for a month.
