Gyu-Don (Beef Bowl)

Zojirushi Recipe – <i>Gyu-Don</i> (Beef Bowl)

This classic donburi is believed to have been adapted from combining gyu-nabe, a Japanese hotpot that includes beef and vegetables and sukiyaki-don, a rice bowl topped with sukiyaki. "Gyu" means beef and "don" is a shortened word for "donburi" (bowl).
