Tender shaved beef and sweet onions simmered in a soy-dashi broth, ladled over rice with a soft egg on top.

Ingredients

• 1 lb shaved steak
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sugar or honey
• 1 cup broth (or dashi)
• 1-inch ginger, julienned
• 4 eggs
• 1½ cups short-grain or jasmine rice
• green onions

From your pantry: 3 tbsp mirin, pickled ginger (optional).

Instructions

1. Start the rice. Simmer the broth, soy, sugar, mirin and ginger in a wide pan.
2. Add the onions and simmer until soft and sweet, 6 minutes.
3. Add the beef, separating the slices, and simmer just until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Skim any foam.
4. Soft-boil the eggs for 6½ minutes, or crack them into the simmering pan, cover and poach 3 minutes.
5. Spoon the beef, onions and plenty of broth over bowls of rice. Top with the egg and green onions.

Tip: Ask the butcher counter for shabu-shabu or Philly cheesesteak beef if you can't find shaved steak.
