Ingredients

Main Ingredients	Amount
Beef tongue	500 g (thinly sliced)
Scallions (spring onions)	1 bunch
Red chili peppers	3 pieces
Garlic cloves	4 pieces
Eggs	2 (lightly beaten)

For the Sauce	Amount
Soy sauce (shoyu)	2 tbsp
Honey	1 tbsp
Sugar	1 tsp
Sesame oil	1 tbsp
Salt	1 tsp
Chicken stock powder	1 tsp
Ground black pepper	1 tsp

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the beef tongue
   Begin by slicing the beef tongue into thin pieces. This ensures tenderness and allows the seasoning to penetrate better.
2. Cook the beef and eggs
   Heat a little oil in a pan and sear the beef tongue until it is half-cooked. Remove it from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, scramble the beaten eggs until fluffy and cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
3. Make the sauce
   In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, sugar, sesame oil, salt, chicken stock powder, and ground pepper. Heat the mixture briefly until it comes to a gentle boil. Set aside.
4. Sauté aromatics and combine
   In a clean pan, stir-fry garlic, scallions, and chili peppers until fragrant. Add the beef tongue back into the pan, then pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat the meat evenly and cook until the beef is tender and fully cooked.
5. Assemble the bowl
   Place a generous serving of steamed rice in a bowl. Arrange the sauced beef tongue on top, add scrambled eggs, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for extra aroma and texture.

Serving Suggestions

Gyutandon is best enjoyed fresh and warm. You may add a drizzle of extra sesame oil or garnish with pickled ginger for a refreshing contrast. At Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe, we love to serve this dish with a side of miso soup or a light vegetable salad to complete the meal.
