Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large skillet or shallow pot over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp neutral oil, then add onion and mushrooms; cook 3 minutes until softened.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in soy sauce, mirin, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then lay beef slices in a single layer without stirring.

    After 2 minutes, add tofu cubes and stir gently to distribute. Cook 1 minute until tofu is warmed through.

  4. Step 4

    Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls, then ladle beef, vegetables, and broth over the top.
