Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup Japanese short-grain or medium grain rice, cooked
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4-6 oz beef, thinly sliced (any type is fine, but I recommend ribeye or sirloin)
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional garnish: green onions, thinly sliced
Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Before beginning either of the below methods, do the following:
- Steam or cook the rice in advance, allowing it to cool slightly so it doesn’t become mushy when mixed with the hot plate or skillet. Set aside.
- To make the sauce, in a small bowl, simply mix together all the sauce ingredients (oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey, and garlic). Set aside.
If using a cast iron or hot plate:
- Heat a tablespoon of butter on the cast iron or hot plate over medium-high heat. Once melted, quickly add the rice to the center of the skillet.
- Season the rice with black pepper, placing the corn on top of the rice.
- Place the raw thinly sliced beef around the rice in a circle. Garnish with green onions and the other tablespoon of butter.
- Cook for about 2 minutes until the beef is cooked all the way through.
- Drizzle the beef pepper rice with the sauce and season with more black pepper, if desired. Mix everything together well and eat hot.
If you are not using a cast iron or hot plate (and just serving on a regular plate):
- To a pan over medium-high heat, quickly sauté or stir-fry the beef with a tablespoon of butter for about 1-2 minutes until it’s just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the corn and sauté for about 1-2 minutes to warm through.
- On a plate, assemble your dish by placing the rice in the center, seasoned with plenty of black pepper with the corn on top.
- Place the cooked beef in a circle around the rice. Garnish with green onions and the other tablespoon of butter.
- Drizzle the beef pepper rice with the sauce and season with more black pepper, if desired. Mix everything together well and eat hot.
