Step 1
Pour the 4 cups of beef broth into a large pot and set heat to high until the broth comes to a rolling boil, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the sliced beef to the boiling broth, pushing each slice gently into the liquid with a spoon so it spreads out and cooks evenly.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the beef is pale and cooked through.
Step 4
Pour in the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and stir for 10 seconds until the broth turns a light brown color.
Step 5
Divide the cooked rice into two bowls, then carefully ladle the hot beef and broth over the rice in each bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle 0.5 tablespoon of sesame oil over the surface of each bowl.
Step 7
Scatter the chopped scallions (about 1 stalk per bowl) on top and serve immediately while steaming.
