Ingredients:
Step 1: Marinate the Beef
Begin your Korean Beef Rice Bowl by marinating the sliced beef in the Korean BBQ sauce. This step is crucial for infusing the beef with deep, savory flavors that are signature to Korean cuisine. Make sure each piece is well-coated and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be!
Pro Tip: Slice the beef thinly across the grain for tenderness.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
While the beef is marinating, prepare your veggies. Snip the ends off the green beans and cut them and the carrot into matchstick-size pieces. This not only adds a delightful crunch to your bowl but also brings a splash of color making it as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate.
Pro Tip: Use a julienne peeler for quick and uniform carrot strips.
Step 3: Stir-Fry the Veggies
Next, take a large wok or frying pan and briefly cook the green beans and carrots with a little water over high heat. This step should be quick to keep the veggies vibrant and crisp. Once they're just tender, drain them and plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process. A sprinkle of sesame oil, sugar, and a dash of salt will elevate these veggies to new heights.
Pro Tip: Stir-fry the vegetables on high heat to retain their crunch.
Step 4: Cook the Beef
After setting the vegetables aside, add a bit more oil to the pan and get ready to cook your marinated beef. The high heat will sear the beef, locking in the marinade's flavor. Stir until the beef is thoroughly cooked but still tender. Add in the remaining marinade and a splash of broth to bring everything together in a delicious, glossy sauce.
Pro Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan to ensure each piece of beef is evenly cooked.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowl
The final step is to assemble your Korean Beef Rice Bowl. Start with a base of fluffy rice, then layer on your glossy, flavorful beef and the vibrant veggies. For the finishing touch, sprinkle over some toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Serve immediately and watch as your family dives into their new favorite dish!
Pro Tip: Serve with extra sauce on the side for an added kick.
