Ingredients

Korean BBQ Beef

  • 450 g beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 60 ml soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Rice Layer

  • 400 g cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Vegetable Garnish

  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 60 g shredded carrots
  • 25 g green onions, sliced

Finishing Touch

  • Nori strips (optional)
  • Sliced green onions
  • Extra sesame seeds
  • Spicy mayonnaise (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced beef and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and transfer to a plate.
  3. Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over the warm cooked jasmine rice and stir gently until the rice is evenly seasoned.
  4. Prepare the Vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber, slice the avocado, shred the carrots, and finely slice the green onions.
  5. Assemble the Stack: Place a ring mold or ramekin on a serving plate. Firmly pack cooked rice into the base. Add a layer of Korean BBQ beef, followed by cucumber, avocado, shredded carrots, and green onions. Gently remove the mold to reveal the layered stack.
  6. Finish and Serve: Top with nori strips, extra green onions, additional sesame seeds, and a drizzle of spicy mayonnaise if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the beef is sliced as thinly as possible for optimal tenderness and quick cooking.
  • Use a firm rice, such as jasmine, for better structure when layering the stack.
