- 1
Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion 6 minutes until soft and lightly golden — you want sweetness, not char.
- 2
Pour in the broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and let it bubble gently 1–2 minutes so the sugar dissolves and the kitchen smells sweet-savory.
- 3
Add the thinly sliced beef in a loose layer. Cook just 2–3 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the pink is gone. Pull it off the heat the second it's cooked — thin beef goes from tender to tough fast.
- 4
Scoop hot rice into bowls. Ladle the beef, onions, and plenty of the pan juices over the top.
- 5
Finish with a soft-cooked egg if you like, plus green onions and pickled ginger. Break the yolk into the rice and mix as you eat.
