Description

Saucy shredded beef, fluffy rice, tangy cucumbers, avocado, crispy onions and sriracha mayo make a truly unmatched Korean beef rice bowl. One of our absolute favorite dinners EVER!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 batch Korean shredded beef
  • cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • 1-2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • pinches of sugar and salt
  • kimchi
  • shelled edamame (I like to toss with a little toasted sesame oil and salt)
  • avocado, cubed
  • green onions, thinly sliced
  • crispy onions
  • peanuts, finely chopped
  • sriracha mayo
  • sesame seeds
  • lime wedges
  • other veggies you love: shredded carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, bean sprouts, green beans, etc.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Korean shredded beef. While the beef is cooking prep the rest of your rice bowl components.
  2. If you are making jasmine rice (this is what I usually use) use a water to grain ratio of 1.75:1. This makes for fluffier rice!
  3. In a large bowl combine the cucumbers, rice vinegar and pinches of sugar and salt and toss to combine. Cube the avocado and spritz it with lime and salt. Toss the edamame with a little sesame oil and pinch of salt.
  4. Assemble bowls with fluffy rice, shredded beef, cucumbers, kimchi, avocado, edamame, green onions, crispy onions, peanuts and a big drizzle of sriracha mayo* (see note). Finish with sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime, YUM. What a good day to be eating dinner.

Notes

Sriracha mayo: Most grocery stores carry sriracha mayo in the international foods aisle along with the other Asian condiments. You can also easily make your own by combining sriracha + mayo! I like a ratio of about ⅓ cup mayo to 2 teaspoons sriracha but you can adjust it per your taste/heat preference.

Prep ahead thoughts: For the meat there are a couple options- 1) You can cut the meat, blend the sauce, pour the sauce over the meat chunks in a gallon Ziploc bag and freeze up to 6 months. Then you can dump the whole shebang in the Instant Pot when you’re ready to cook. This is what I would do if I was prepping this for my family or for a post-partum friend. 2) Fully prep, cook and shred the meat. Place cooked, shredded beef in a Ziploc bag or vacuum-sealed container, reserving a bit of the liquid separately to add when you reheat and ‘re-hydrate’ the meat. This is what I do when I prep this recipe for a trip or camping. When ready to serve or deliver to a friend, prep the rest of the bowl components and store in airtight containers or resealable bags.
