Instructions
1. Marinate the beef
In a bowl, combine your diced beef with garlic (fresh or granulated), black pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure an even coating so that the beef will soak up the flavors, and leave it to sit for a few minutes to absorb.
2. Boil your rice
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and keeps the rice from becoming too sticky. Add the rinsed rice to a pot with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Continue preparing the rest of the meal whilst your rice is boiling.
3. Cook your beef
Heat a large pan over a high heat. Add your marinated beef and cook for around 10 minutes until the beef is nicely browned and cooked through. Once done, set the beef aside.
4. Prepare the sauce
In the same pan, add your butter and let it melt over a low heat. Then, add some beef stock, garlic, sriracha, tomato paste, soy sauce, and honey. Stir everything together until well combined and bring the sauce to a simmer.
5. Combine and simmer
Return the cooked beef to the pan, stirring it into the sauce and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
6. Serve and enjoy
Serve the sticky Korean beef over a bed of freshly boiled rice. For an extra kick, top with a drizzle of sriracha. Sit back, relax, and savor every bite of this comforting, high-protein meal. The combination of beef and rice provides a balanced, protein-packed dish that supports muscle repair and overall health.
