Toppings

Method

Marinated Beef

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chopped green onions, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the beef

    Place thinly sliced beef into a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the beef, making sure all pieces are coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the beef

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely caramelized. Set aside.

Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Pickled Vegetables

  1. 5

    Make the pickling liquid

    In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 6

    Pickle the vegetables

    Place julienned carrots and cucumbers in a bowl or jar. Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the vegetables. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. For best results, refrigerate for 2–4 hours.

Assembly and Toppings

  1. 7

    Assemble the Korean BBQ Bowl

    In a bowl, add a generous scoop of jasmine rice. Top with grilled marinated beef, a portion of pickled vegetables, and a spoonful of kimchi. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve warm.
