comfortsatisfyingjapanesebeeftenderjuicyweeknightbowl

Ingredients

  • ¾ lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp mirin (or 2 tbsp sugar + 1 tbsp water)
  • 2 whole onsen eggs or soft-boiled eggs
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the onion into thin half-moons. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and starting to caramelize, about 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add beef in a single layer without stirring for 60 seconds, then break apart with a spoon until no pink remains.

  4. 4

    Pour in soy sauce and mirin. Stir and simmer until the sauce coats the beef and onions glossily, about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with beef-onion mixture and one onsen egg.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately while the rice is warm and the egg yolk is still runny.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch skillet
