Ingredients

  • ¾ lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin or honey
  • 1.5 cups cooked white or sushi rice
  • 2 whole large eggs
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and simmer for 6 minutes until whites set but yolks stay soft.

  2. 2

    While eggs cook, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add beef slices and sear 90 seconds per side without stirring.

  3. 3

    Push beef to the side. Add sliced onion to the empty space and cook 2 minutes until translucent.

  4. 4

    Pour soy sauce and mirin over everything. Stir to coat and simmer 2 minutes until sauce darkens slightly.

  5. 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top with beef and onion, then drizzle sauce over the top.

  6. 6

    Peel soft-boiled eggs, halve them, and nestle on top. Scatter green onion and serve immediately.
