Method

Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Add the beef sirloin steak and coat it well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Rice Preparation

  1. 3

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from being sticky.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

  3. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, uncover and fluff the rice with a fork.
