Description

My homemade version of Pepper Lunch’s Beef Pepper Rice is a sizzling hot plate dish featuring thinly sliced beef, buttery rice, sweet corn, and bold black pepper, all mixed together with savory-sweet sauces for an interactive and flavorful meal.


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:


Instructions

Before beginning either of the below methods, do the following:

  1. 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.
  2. 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: 

  1. 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.
  2. Season the rice with black pepper, placing the corn on top of the rice.
  3. Place the raw thinly sliced beef around the rice in a circle. Garnish with green onions and the other tablespoon of butter.
  4. Cook for about 2 minutes until the beef is cooked all the way through.
  5. 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): 

  1. 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.
  2. In the same skillet, add the corn and sauté for about 1-2 minutes to warm through.
  3. On a plate, assemble your dish by placing the rice in the center, seasoned with plenty of black pepper with the corn on top.
  4. Place the cooked beef in a circle around the rice. Garnish with green onions and the other tablespoon of butter.
  5. Drizzle the beef pepper rice with the sauce and season with more black pepper, if desired. Mix everything together well and eat hot.
