Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the onion into thin half-moons. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and starting to caramelize, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add beef in a single layer without stirring for 60 seconds, then break apart with a spoon until no pink remains.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in soy sauce and mirin. Stir and simmer until the sauce coats the beef and onions glossily, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with beef-onion mixture and one onsen egg.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the rice is warm and the egg yolk is still runny.

Tools you’ll need
