Ingredients
- 200 g thinly sliced beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 crab sticks, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 200 ml tomato-based sauce
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 50 g shredded cheese
- 1 slice processed cheese
- to taste oil
- to taste dried parsley
Instructions
- 1Stir-fry the beef
Add thin slices of raw beef to a preheated, oiled pan. Stir-fry over medium-high heat until the meat is fully cooked and browned.
Tip: Keep the heat high to ensure the beef browns quickly without becoming chewy. - 2Sauté aromatics and vegetables
Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the diced tomatoes and bell peppers, cooking until they soften and release their natural juices.
Tip: Press down on the tomatoes with a spatula to help them release their juices faster. - 3Combine ingredients
Add the cooked beef, crab stick strips, and chopped broccoli into the pan with the tomato-based sauce. Stir to incorporate all ingredients.
Tip: Ensure the broccoli is cut into small, even pieces so it cooks through quickly. - 4Add sauce and mix
Pour the liquid sauce over the mixture in the pan. Stir everything thoroughly until the sauce coats all ingredients evenly.
Tip: Use a gentle folding motion to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed without breaking them apart. - 5Add shredded cheese
Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetable and beef mixture in the pan.
Tip: Spread the cheese uniformly for an even melt across the entire dish. - 6Add rice and top with cheese
Place a portion of cooked rice in the center of the pan and top it with a single slice of cheese to complete the assembly.
Tip: Cover the pan briefly with a lid to help the cheese slice melt perfectly over the hot rice.
