Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice
  • ¾ lb thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into thin half-moons
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp mirin (or 1 tbsp sugar + 2 tbsp water)
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add beef and cook without stirring for 90 seconds, then flip and cook 90 seconds more until browned.

  3. 3

    Push beef to the side, add onion slices, and stir until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in soy sauce and mirin, stir everything together, and simmer 2 minutes until sauce glosses over the beef.

  5. 5

    Push beef-onion mixture to the edge again, crack eggs into the skillet, stir gently, and cook until soft curds form, about 90 seconds.

  6. 6

    Divide hot rice between two bowls, top each with beef-onion mixture and soft scrambled eggs, and serve immediately.
