3. **Toast the Sesame Seeds** — Heat a dry pan, add the white sesame seeds, and shake the pan to toast them evenly until slightly golden.

5. **Make the Sauce** — In a bowl, stir together mirin (or cooking wine), soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and dark soy sauce to make the sauce.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: You can place the bowl directly on a kitchen scale for precise weighing.
   ![Step 5: Make the Sauce](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_ri-shi-fei-niu-jing-fan/step_5.jpg)
6. **Stir-fry the Onion** — Heat oil in a wok, add the onion, and stir-fry quickly until it turns translucent.
   - Duration: 3 min
   - Tip: Stir-frying over high heat brings out the onion's sweetness.
   ![Step 6: Stir-fry the Onion](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_ri-shi-fei-niu-jing-fan/step_6.jpg)
7. **Add Water and Simmer** — Lower the heat, add 250g of water (or dashi), then return to high heat and wait 3 minutes.
   - Duration: 3 min
   - Tip: Using dashi gives a richer, more savory flavor.

8. **Combine and Cook** — Add the beef and sauce, and stir all ingredients continuously for 10 minutes to prevent sticking.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: If it tastes not salty enough, add soy sauce 1g at a time to adjust.
   ![Step 8: Combine and Cook](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_ri-shi-fei-niu-jing-fan/step_8.jpg)
9. **Serve** — Serve the beef bowl over rice, pour the sauce over the top, and garnish with scallion and white sesame seeds.
   - Duration: 1 min
   - Tip: The sauce is the soul of the rice bowl — don't be shy about pouring extra.

## Tips

- If you're using good-quality beef, you can skip blanching to better preserve its flavor.
- Because mirin is added, there won't be a fishy taste, so don't worry about the beef being undercooked — 10 minutes of heating will definitely cook it through.
- If available, adding 15g of sake can enhance the aroma.
- Reheating from the fridge: microwave a single serving on high for 2-3 minutes; for stovetop reheating, add an extra 50ml of water and stir continuously.
- Adjusting saltiness: taste the sauce first, and if it's less salty than expected, add 1g of soy sauce at a time to fine-tune.
