Description

A flavor-packed Korean-inspired bowl featuring marinated beef bulgogi served over rice with kimchi, cucumber ribbons, and a fried egg. A satisfying, customizable meal perfect for dinner or meal prep.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 Tablespoons chili garlic sauce (or gochujang)
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons minced ginger
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 2 lb ribeye or top sirloin steak, thinly sliced (about ⅛‑inch)
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 4 fried eggs
  • 1 cup kimchi
  • 1 English cucumber, cut into ribbons

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and shallots.
  2. Add thinly sliced beef to the marinade, toss well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Using a slotted spoon, add beef in batches without overcrowding. Sear quickly until cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
  4. Divide rice among four bowls. Top with bulgogi beef, a fried egg, kimchi, and cucumber ribbons. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Freeze steak slightly for easier slicing.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Customize with additional veggies or different protein options.
  • Store beef and rice separately from fresh toppings.
  • Not ideal for freezing due to fresh vegetables.
