Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Gently lower eggs and cook 6 minutes 30 seconds for soft yolks. Transfer to ice bath.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When shimmering, add half the beef in a single layer and don't stir for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Flip beef, cook 1 minute more until edges brown. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef.
Step 4
Add onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour soy sauce and mirin into the skillet. Return beef and any juices to the pan. Stir gently and simmer 1 minute.
Step 6
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with beef and onions, then carefully peel and place a soft-boiled egg on top.
Step 7
Pour any sauce from the skillet over the bowl. Serve immediately.
