Ultimate Beef Gyudon with Onsen Egg (Chef RV Style)

A Comforting Bowl of Gyudon 🍚🥢

When it comes to Japanese comfort food, nothing beats gyudon — thinly sliced beef simmered in a savory-sweet sauce, laid over steaming rice, and crowned with a silky onsen egg. This version, adapted from Chef RV Manabat, makes the beloved donburi simple enough to cook at home while still delivering restaurant-level satisfaction.

The secret lies in the balance of flavors: salty soy sauce, sweet mirin, caramelized onions, and the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of sukiyaki-cut beef. Top it with creamy onsen eggs, and every spoonful becomes a perfect mix of richness and umami.

Why This Gyudon Works ✨

• Savory-sweet sauce – a classic balance that makes Japanese rice bowls so addictive.
• Quick and family-friendly – ready in under an hour, perfect for weeknights.
• Restaurant-style touch – onsen eggs bring a velvety creaminess that elevates the whole dish.

Tips for the Best Homemade Gyudon 🍳🥩

• Use Japanese short-grain rice for the right texture — sticky and fluffy.
• Keep the onsen egg water below boiling so the whites set gently while yolks stay custardy.
• Don’t overcook the beef — thin slices only need a short simmer to stay tender.

Serving Ideas 🌿🍲

Serve this gyudon piping hot with a sprinkle of spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. For a full Japanese-inspired meal, pair it with miso soup, pickled vegetables, or a side of edamame.

Whether you’re making dinner for the family or craving a hearty solo meal, this Ultimate Beef Gyudon with Onsen Egg is a bowl of comfort that never disappoints.
