Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
Marinade and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for rice)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (for rice)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for rice)
Garnish and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Nori strips (optional)
- Extra sesame seeds
- Sliced green onions
- Spicy mayo (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant marinade by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper in a mixing container.
- Submerge thinly sliced beef into the marinade, thoroughly massaging to ensure complete coverage. Allow flavors to penetrate for 20-60 minutes at room temperature.
- Ignite a skillet over medium-high heat, sizzling marinated beef until edges caramelize and meat reaches desired doneness, approximately 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and transfer to a holding plate.
- Transform plain rice into seasoned grains by blending rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold mixture into warm rice, creating an even, glossy coating.
- Select a cylindrical mold and compress rice firmly to create a stable foundation. Layer cooked beef atop rice, then strategically arrange cucumber, avocado, shredded carrots, and green onions for visual appeal and textural complexity.
- Artfully garnish the rice stack with delicate nori strips, additional sesame seeds, emerald green onion slivers, and a drizzle of spicy mayonnaise for an explosive flavor finish.
Notes
- Let beef soak in marinade for at least 30 minutes to maximize flavor absorption and tenderize meat.
- Allow rice to cool slightly before molding to help it maintain a compact, structured shape for stacking.
- Ensure beef is hot when layering to create a delightful contrast with cool vegetables and rice.
- Swap proteins like chicken or tofu for dietary preferences, keeping the vibrant Korean BBQ flavor profile intact.
