Beef Bibimbap Bowl

First published in delicious.

My take on the Korean classic: seared beef, shiitake mushrooms and plenty of veg over rice, with a hit of sambal for heat. Mix it all up and dig in.

Beef Bibimbap Bowl, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

Quick pickles

Method

  1. Cook rice according to packet instructions.
  2. For quick pickles, place vinegar, sugar, ½ cup (125ml) water and 2 tsp salt in a pan over high heat. Bring to the boil and simmer for 1 minute or until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. Place vegetables in a container, pour in cooled liquid, and turn to coat. Leave to pickle for at least 10 minutes.
  4. To make a chilli sauce, combine sambal and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Heat 1 tbs rice bran oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze pan with 1 tbs soy sauce, then transfer mushrooms to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  6. Heat remaining oil in the same pan. Cook steaks 2 minutes each side for medium-rare or to your liking. Deglaze pan with remaining soy sauce.
  7. Transfer steaks to the plate with mushrooms. Rest for 5 minutes, loosely covered with foil.
  8. Thinly slice steaks. Drain pickles. Divide rice among serving bowls and top with pickles, steak, mushrooms, egg, avocado and watercress, and serve with chilli sauce.

Notes

You’ll find sambal at Asian grocers and most supermarkets.

You’ll find shiitake at Asian grocers and greengrocers.
