Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add beef and cook without stirring for 90 seconds, then flip and cook 90 seconds more until browned.

  3. Step 3

    Push beef to the side, add onion slices, and stir until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in soy sauce and mirin, stir everything together, and simmer 2 minutes until sauce glosses over the beef.

  5. Step 5

    Push beef-onion mixture to the edge again, crack eggs into the skillet, stir gently, and cook until soft curds form, about 90 seconds.

  6. Step 6

    Divide hot rice between two bowls, top each with beef-onion mixture and soft scrambled eggs, and serve immediately.
