Recipe: Gyu-don (牛丼) beef bowl
Ingredients:
Thinly sliced strips of beef
Sliced onions
Sake
Mirin
Soy sauce
Sugar
Grated ginger
Dashi powder or broth
Water
Preparation:
Cook the beef in a pan or pot until browned on the outside. Set the beef aside in a plate or bowl, and strain the liquid through a cloth or mesh strainer to get rid of the scum.
Add the strained liquid back, and start cooking the onions. Once the onions are cooked to your preference, add sake, mirin and soy sauce in a 1-1-1 ratio and boil to reduce the amount of alcohol.
Add in 2.5 to 3 parts water.
Add the beef back in, and add sugar, dashi and ginger to taste. Scoop the ingredients and broth onto a bowl of rice. 
Notes: You can garnish with pepper flakes or pickled ginger. The more onions you add and the more you cook them, the sweeter the broth.
