Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s marinate the beef. In a bowl, combine 140g of beef chuck flap tail with 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 Tbsp plum syrup, 1/2 Tbsp cooking wine (or mirin), and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 20 minutes. This step tenderizes the beef and enhances its flavor. While the beef marinates, thinly julienne 1/2 an onion and 1/2 a stalk of green onion. Also, prepare 2 eggs and 2 bowls of warm cooked rice.
Step 2
Next, sauté the julienned onion. Heat a little grapeseed oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they turn golden brown and sweet. Season lightly with salt and pepper as they cook. For the green onions, place the julienned green onions in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt, a little red pepper flakes (if you prefer a hint of spice), and a little sesame oil. Toss gently to combine and add a fragrant aroma.
Step 3
Now, prepare the eggs. We recommend frying them to your preferred doneness. A sunny-side-up egg with a slightly runny yolk is particularly delicious as it mixes with the rice and beef, creating a rich sauce.
Step 4
It’s time to cook the marinated beef. Heat a pan over medium-low heat with a little grapeseed oil. Add the marinated beef, breaking it up with your cooking utensil to prevent clumping. Sear the beef quickly until it’s nicely browned on all sides. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the meat tough. The goal is to keep the juices locked inside.
Step 5
Finally, let’s assemble the rice bowl. Spoon the warm cooked rice into a bowl. Artfully arrange the sautéed onions, the seared beef, and the fried egg on top of the rice. Finish with the seasoned green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. This visually appealing and incredibly flavorful beef chuck flap tail rice bowl is ready to be enjoyed! It’s a guaranteed hit for both kids and adults.
