total time: 6 hours 30 minutes
recipe by: Frankie
Ingredients
- 1 lb top sirloin cut into bite size slices about 1/8 inch thick
- 1 onion, cut into large pieces
- 1 green pepper, cut into large slices
- 1 tsp cooking oil
- 2 cups short-grain white sushi rice
- marinade:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 TBSP sesame oil
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1 TBSP sake
- 2 TBSP honey
- 2 TBSP toasted sesame seeds, ground
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
Directions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
- Place the sirloin slices, sliced onion, and sliced pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade in the bag over top the beef and vegetables. Seal the bag and flip over a few times to make sure the marinade is evenly spread throughout the beef and vegetables. Refrigerate for about 6 hours.
- About an hour before the beef and vegetables come out of the refrigerator start cooking your rice:
- - CAREFULLY BUT THOROUGHLY RINSE THE RICE IN A STRAINER UNDER COLD WATER UNTIL THE WATER FROM THE RICE IS MOSTLY CLEAR, ABOUT 2 MINUTES OR SO, THEN LET THE RICE REST IN THE STRAINER FOR 30 MINUTES (THIS PRODUCES A FLUFFIER RICE WHEN COOKED).
- - COMBINE THE RICE IN A SAUCEPAN WITH 2 1/2 CUPS WATER, BRING TO A BOIL OVER MEDIUM-HIGH HEAT. COVER, REDUCE HEAT TO LOW, COOK 15 MINUTES. TURN OFF THE HEAT AND LET REST 10 MINUTES WHILE STILL COVERED. FLUFF WITH A FORK.
- Remove the bag from the fridge and separate the beef from the vegetables.
- Rub the oil on the bottom of a wok or large non-stick skillet and place on the stove over high heat until pan is very hot. Add the vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beef to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes or until beef is cooked.
- Serve the beef and vegetables with the rice.
