Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The start to a delicious rice bowl is preparing the rice! Rinse 1 cup of rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, then drain it well in a sieve. Letting the rice soak for about 30 minutes before cooking will result in fluffier and tastier grains.
Step 2
Pat dry the steak beef with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Lightly brush with olive oil, then generously season with salt and pepper. Let it marinate for a bit to tenderize the meat.
Step 3
Wash the scallions and finely chop them. These will be added as a garnish on top of the rice, adding both color and a fresh aroma.
Step 4
We’ll make crispy garlic chips! Thinly slice the garlic. You can deep-fry them in oil for extra crispiness, or for a simpler method, lightly oil the slices and air fry at 140°C (284°F) for 10 minutes, flip, and air fry for another 7 minutes. This creates a wonderfully crispy and fragrant topping!
Step 5
Now, let’s stir-fry the rice! Add 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of minced garlic to your pot or pan over medium-low heat. Sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Add the soaked rice and 1 Tbsp of tsuyu to the sautéed garlic and butter. Stir-fry until the rice grains become slightly translucent. The tsuyu will coat the rice, infusing it with rich flavor.
Step 7
Add water in a 1:1 ratio with the rice (1 cup rice to 1 cup water) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to low and let it steam for 5 minutes. The water will absorb, creating a delicious rice bowl.
Step 8
While the rice is steaming, we’ll cook the marinated steak. Heat 1 Tbsp of butter in a pan, sprinkle a little salt and pepper, then place the steak in the pan. Sear both sides until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness. The key is a nicely seared exterior with a juicy interior.
Step 9
It’s important to cook the steak quickly over high heat. Sear each side for just 1-2 minutes on high heat to achieve a medium-rare finish with a perfectly seared crust. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference.
Step 10
Once the rice is perfectly cooked, artfully arrange the sliced steak, chopped scallions, and crispy garlic chips on top. Your impressive Steak Rice Cooker Bowl is taking shape!
Step 11
Cover the pot and let it steam for another 5 minutes to finish the Steak Rice Cooker Bowl! For an extra burst of flavor, mix the prepared sauce ingredients into the rice. You can mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds to create your perfect sauce to enjoy with the dish. It’s truly delicious!
