Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cups rice
  • 4 cups water
Optional Toppings

  • sesame seeds

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • saucepan
  • large skillet or wok

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade and toss to coat evenly; let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or while you prepare the rice.
Cooking
  1. Cook the rice according to package directions, typically by combining rice and water in a saucepan and simmering until the water is absorbed.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Serve the cooked beef over the prepared rice and garnish with your desired toppings, such as sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and kimchi.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef overnight. Adjust sweetness and spice to your preference.
