The author shares this as a super-tasty Japanese beef bowl — tender, well-seasoned and juicy beef over rice, with a runny-yolk egg mixed in, described as even better than the Yoshinoya version and very simple to make.

    Blanch the beef slices in a pot until they just change color, then remove them. Heat oil in the pan, add sliced onion and stir-fry until soft. Add the beef back, pour in the sauce, and toss to coat evenly. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Fry a soft-cooked (runny-yolk) egg, place it and the beef over rice, and sprinkle with a little black sesame.

    ✅ Done when: The dish is done when the onion is soft, the sauce has thickened enough to coat the beef, and the egg white is set with a runny yolk.
