Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare Onsen Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer at 167°F (75°C). Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs in the water and cook for 15-20 minutes. Transfer them to an ice bath to halt the cooking process.
  2. Marinate Beef: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sake, mirin, and grated ginger. Add thinly sliced beef to the mixture and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Cook Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the marinated beef strips in batches for about 2 minutes per side.
  4. Plate the Dish: Arrange the cooked beef artistically on individual plates.
  5. Add Onsen Eggs: Gently crack the onsen eggs onto the plated beef, allowing the creamy yolk to flow into the dish.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with additional soy sauce for extra savory kick.
