Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by patting the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This is crucial for a clean flavor without any gamey notes. Season both sides generously with black pepper.
Step 2
Finely chop the scallions to be used as a garnish. Thinly slice the onion. If you prefer chives, chop them to a suitable size as well.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to enhance the flavor. Sear the steak for a few minutes on each side until beautifully browned, achieving your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, slice the steak into bite-sized pieces and set aside on a plate. (For a more even cook, reduce heat to low and cover the pan.)
Step 4
In the same pan used for the steak, add the sliced onions. Sauté over medium heat until they become slightly translucent. This will bring out the natural sweetness of the onions, adding depth to the sauce.
Step 5
Add all the sauce ingredients to the pan: 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp cooking wine, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp water, 2 Tbsp store-bought steak sauce, and 1 Tbsp oyster sauce. Stir well to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. The onions and sauce will meld together beautifully.
Step 6
Serve warm rice in a bowl. Spoon the simmered onion sauce over the rice. Arrange the sliced steak attractively on top. Finally, garnish with the chopped scallions (or chives) and place the fresh egg yolk in the center for a visually appealing and delicious Steak Donburi. Enjoy your homemade masterpiece!
