Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup baby spinach, lightly sautéed or steamed
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts, blanched
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 shiitake mushrooms, sliced and sautéed
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice or sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion, finely sliced
  • 1 fried egg per serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced beef and toss well to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour.
  2. Rinse 1 cup of short-grain rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or simmer in a pot with 1 1/4 cups water over low heat for 15 minutes. Keep warm.
  3. Blanch the bean sprouts in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and set aside. Lightly sauté the spinach with a pinch of salt until just wilted. Sauté shiitake mushrooms in a little oil until tender and browned. Julienne carrots and slice cucumber thinly; serve raw.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until seared and cooked through. Work in batches if needed.
  5. In a separate non-stick pan, fry eggs sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Scoop warm rice into bowls. Arrange beef and each veggie component in sections on top of the rice. Add a fried egg on top.
  7. Drizzle or serve gochujang on the side. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the bowl.

Notes

Marinate beef for at least 20 minutes for flavor; thinly slice beef against the grain for tenderness. Blanch bean sprouts quickly to keep crunch. Fry eggs sunny-side up with runny yolks for richness. Serve gochujang on the side to adjust spice level. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Vegetarian option: replace beef with marinated tofu or tempeh.
