Beefsteak donburi is our new go-to weeknight meal

Your Recipe of the Day No images? Click here Beefsteak Donburi With Spinach “Donburi" is a Japanese word that refers both to a class of rice dishes and the bowl in which they’re served. The rice bowl is quite a bit larger and wider than the standard-issue ones that typically accompany a meal.  This beef donburi is designed with the relatively cheap, thin-cut ribeye steaks you find at most U.S. grocery stores in mind. It was also designed to be made in only one pan, aside from the vessel in which you cook your rice, whether that's a rice cooker or a pot, and it requires just a few pantry ingredients that are staples of the Japanese kitchen: sake, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. The result is a well-rounded meal in a bowl in which the focus is the rice, but with a lot of textural variation and complexity of flavor, and it all comes together in about thirty minutes.
