Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Divide cooked rice between two bowls and keep warm.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the onion into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges brown, ~2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, add onion and sauté until softened and edges caramelize, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return beef to skillet. Pour in soy sauce and mirin; toss until beef is coated and liquid reduces to a glaze, ~1 minute.

  6. Step 6

    Spoon beef and onion over rice. Top each bowl with a soft onsen egg or soft-boiled egg. Serve immediately.
