Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 200 g thinly sliced beef
- 2 tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp savory dark sauce
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- 1Sauté Red Onions and Tomatoes
Place diced red onions into a pan with oil and sauté until translucent, then add chopped tomatoes to cook further.
Tip: Keep the heat medium so the onions soften without burning. - 2Add the sliced beef
Add the thinly sliced raw beef to the pan, stirring it into the hot, simmering tomato and onion mixture.
Tip: Slice the beef thinly against the grain so it cooks quickly and remains tender. - 3Pour in the savory sauce
Pour the dark, savory sauce over the beef and tomatoes, allowing the mixture to simmer until the beef is fully browned and cooked through.
Tip: Letting the stew simmer gently helps the meat absorb the rich flavors of the sauce. - 4Position the rice bowl
Place an overturned bowl tightly packed with cooked white rice directly into the center of the pan, pushing the meat and tomato mixture to the edges.
Tip: Pack the rice firmly into the bowl beforehand to ensure it holds its dome shape when released. - 5Reveal the rice dome and add cheese
Lift the bowl to reveal a perfect dome of white rice. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the hot beef and tomato stew surrounding the rice.
Tip: The residual heat from the stew will melt the cheese. Serve immediately for the best cheese pull!
