This is Red Eye Gravy Gyudon – a Japanese beef rice bowl with a twist. The sauce is built from dashi, soy, and a shot of coffee, inspired by classic red eye gravy. It’s rich, a bit sweet, and has just enough bitterness to balance the dish. Served over sushi rice with marinated eggs and a few fresh toppings, it’s a solid meal that comes together fast.

Spoon rice into serving bowls, then top with beef and broth, garnish with some pickled ginger, spring onions and sesame seeds, then halve a soy marinated egg and place on the side.
