Savory Scallion Beef Rice Bowl

A quick and flavorful weeknight meal featuring tender, scallion-marinated beef served over fluffy rice, stir-fried cabbage, and creamy scrambled eggs.

Ingredients

• 200 g beef slices
• 3 eggs
• 200 g cabbage
• 1 bunch green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp mirin
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• optional white sesame seeds
• optional black pepper
• optional sea salt
• optional cooked white rice

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the scallions

   

   Finely chop a generous amount of fresh green onions. This will form the base of your flavorful scallion sauce.

   Tip: Any extra chopped scallions can be kept in an airtight container in your freezer to save time on future meals.
2. 2Mix the scallion sauce

   

   In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped scallions with minced garlic, light soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, white sesame seeds, and sugar. Use an electric grinder to add freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste, then stir until the mixture is fragrant.

   Tip: Ensure the seasoning is well incorporated so the flavors can penetrate the beef effectively during marination.
3. 3Marinate the beef

   

   Pour the prepared scallion and seasoning mixture evenly over the beef slices. Let the beef marinate for a while to allow the flavors to soak into the meat.

   Tip: Distribute the scallions evenly over the slices to ensure every piece gets well-coated.
4. 4Whisk the eggs

   

   Crack three eggs into a clean bowl and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

   Tip: Whisking well ensures the eggs cook into a smooth, consistent scramble later.
5. 5Prepare the cabbage

   

   Slice the cabbage into manageable pieces, then wash and drain thoroughly to remove any excess water.

   Tip: Removing excess water helps the cabbage sauté properly without becoming too soggy.
6. 6Saute the cabbage

   

   Heat a little oil in a pan and add the prepared cabbage. Saute over medium heat until it begins to soften and becomes tender.

   Tip: Keep the heat moderate to ensure the cabbage retains a slight crunch without browning too much.
7. 7Cook the cabbage and eggs

   

   Pour the whisked egg mixture directly over the sauteed cabbage in the pan. Stir the eggs and cabbage gently over medium heat until the eggs are softly cooked through and set then remove from the pan and set aside.

   Tip: Keep the heat medium low to ensure the eggs stay fluffy and do not brown too quickly.
8. 8Sear the beef

   

   Add the marinated beef slices into the hot pan. Spread them out evenly to ensure they sear properly rather than steaming, and cook until browned and fragrant.

   Tip: Make sure your pan is sufficiently hot before adding the beef to get a good sear for better flavor.
9. 9Stir-fry until done

   

   Continue to stir-fry the beef slices in the pan, ensuring they are cooked evenly on both sides. Cook until the meat is browned and fully aromatic, then remove from heat to prepare for assembly.

   Tip: Dont overcook the beef; remove it as soon as it is browned to keep it tender.
