Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and simmer for 6 minutes until whites set but yolks stay soft.

  2. Step 2

    While eggs cook, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add beef slices and sear 90 seconds per side without stirring.

  3. Step 3

    Push beef to the side. Add sliced onion to the empty space and cook 2 minutes until translucent.

  4. Step 4

    Pour soy sauce and mirin over everything. Stir to coat and simmer 2 minutes until sauce darkens slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top with beef and onion, then drizzle sauce over the top.

  6. Step 6

    Peel soft-boiled eggs, halve them, and nestle on top. Scatter green onion and serve immediately.
