KITCHEN TOOLS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Marinate the steak. Add marinade ingredients in a bowl; stir to combine. Add sliced steak. Place mixture in a large Ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight (minimum 4 hr, maximum 24 hr). (NOTE: check out our IGTV video for a quick tutorial AND several helpful hacks!)
  2. Pickle the veggies. Add 1 cup water, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Cook 2 minutes or until just hot enough to dissolve solids; whisk throughout. Divide veggies into 2 separate containers and pour half of liquid into each container. Let stand until cool (20-30 minutes). Can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
  3. Soft-boil the eggs. Bring a large pot of water and 2 tbsp. vinegar to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower eggs into pot. Cook 6 minutes. Immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Let cool for 15 minutes. Peel eggs. Can be refrigerated up to 3 days. If not serving immediately, reheat eggs for 45 seconds in pot of steaming water. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  4. Make the rice. Cook rice according to package instructions; keep warm.
  5. Grill steak. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tbsp. oil (use a neutral oil - sesame, grapeseed, avocado, canola) until shimmering. Add 1/4 of marinated beef. Cook until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assemble and enjoy! Spoon rice into bowls. Top with beef, pickled vegetables, warm egg. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
