About this dish
Sukiyaki-thin slices of sirloin hit a very hot griddle for about 30 seconds, then a lemon soy sauce with grated onion and garlic is poured in around them.

Being so thin, the meat soaks up the sauce and its own juices almost at once. In Sasebo, the leftover sauce and juices are stirred into rice once the meat is gone.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Combine the grated onion, garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl to make the lemon soy sauce.
- 2
Heat a griddle or wide pan thoroughly over high heat and spread the oil thinly.
Lay out the beef without overlap and sear the first side for about 30 seconds, until its red surface turns brown.
- 3
Turn the beef and pour the lemon soy sauce around the edge of the pan.
Once it bubbles strongly, cook for 30 to 60 seconds while turning the slices, until no raw red areas remain in any folds.
- 4
Transfer the beef immediately to plates and spoon over the remaining lemon soy sauce and meat juices.
Sprinkle evenly with black pepper and serve while hot and tender.
