Gyudon is a Japanese beef dish served with rice and a runny egg, and it’s one of my favorite comfort meals. Swapping the rice for cauliflower in this Gyudon with Cauliflower Rice lowers the carb count and makes this dish grain-free. People on the autoimmune protocol can omit the pepper and egg, too.
