0 Remove the steak from the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking. Season with salt on both sides and set aside. If you don't have enough time, take the steak out 30 minutes and set it aside to come to room temperature. Season with salt and pepper right before cooking.
1 While the steak is resting, wash and cook your rice in the rice cooker or stove top.
4 Thinly slice the onions and remove the stems from the thai chili peppers. Chop the scallions for garnish. Set aside.
5 Combine the soy sauce, sugar, sake, mirin, and bonito flakes. Mix well.
6 In a pan, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak on both sides with black pepper. If you didn't season your steak with salt earlier, season it now with the black pepper.
7 When the pan is hot and smoking, add the steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare or until your red doneness. Remove from pan and let the steak rest for least 10 minutes.
8 In the same pan, add the sauce mixture, onions, and Thai chili peppers. Simmer the sauce and reduce for about 1 to 2 minutes then strain.
9 Place about 1 cup of rice into a bowl and shape the top into a dome shape. Slice the steak to your desired thickness and place it on top of the rice.
10 Crack an egg and separate the white and the egg yolk. Place the yolk in the center of the bowl.
11 Using a spoon, drizzle a few spoonfuls of the reduced sauce over the steak. Garnish with chopped scallions, and wasabi, and enjoy!
