Beef Pepper Rice

 

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked ricewarm
  • 4 tbsp maple syrupor honey
  • 4 tbsp soy saucelow sodium
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepperor more, to taste
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1-1½ lb shabu shabu beefor sliced beef
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp butterdivided in half
  • ¼ cup sweet corn
  • ¼ cup scallionssliced
  • 1/4 cup shiitake or enoki mushrooms


Instructions

  • Cook jasmine rice in your method of choice. I use a rice cooker.
  • Make the sauce by combining maple syrup, soy sauce, mirin, water, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and add the beef to it. Cook until 80-90% browned and drain any excessive liquid in the pan.
  • Push the beef to the side of the pan, making a large enough space in the middle of the pan for a bowl of rice. Add 1 tbsp butter to the middle of the pan and let it melt for a few seconds. Add mushrooms and cook down for a few minutes. 
  • Tightly pack around 3 cups of rice into a bowl and invert it into the middle of the pan, over the butter.
  • Remove the bowl, drizzle the sauce over the rice and beef, and then top with the corn. Let everything cook together, untouched for 2 to 3 minutes. The bottom of the rice will get nice and crispy while the sauce cooks with the beef.
  • Top off with the rest of the butter and green onions before serving.
