Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Lower eggs in gently and set a timer for 6 minutes for jammy yolks.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add beef slices, breaking them apart as they cook, until no pink remains, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in soy sauce and mirin. Simmer for 1 minute until the sauce coats the beef and onions glossy.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with beef and onion mixture, then pour any remaining sauce over.

  6. Step 6

    Place a soft-boiled egg on top of each bowl. Crack gently to reveal the runny yolk. Serve immediately.
