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.
Step 2
While eggs cook, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add beef slices and sear 90 seconds per side without stirring.
Step 3
Push beef to the side. Add sliced onion to the empty space and cook 2 minutes until translucent.
Step 4
Pour soy sauce and mirin over everything. Stir to coat and simmer 2 minutes until sauce darkens slightly.
Step 5
Divide rice between two bowls. Top with beef and onion, then drizzle sauce over the top.
Step 6
Peel soft-boiled eggs, halve them, and nestle on top. Scatter green onion and serve immediately.
