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.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add beef slices, breaking them apart as they cook, until no pink remains, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in soy sauce and mirin. Simmer for 1 minute until the sauce coats the beef and onions glossy.
Step 5
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with beef and onion mixture, then pour any remaining sauce over.
Step 6
Place a soft-boiled egg on top of each bowl. Crack gently to reveal the runny yolk. Serve immediately.
