Packed with a delectable mix of textures and tastes, this dish will surely become a favorite in your kitchen. Let's dive into the step-by-step guide to create this mouthwatering masterpiece! 🤤
Ingredients You'll Need:
10 oz thinly sliced beef
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 green onion stalk, thinly sliced
1 cup cooked short grain rice (for 2 pax)
1.5 cups corn (canned or frozen)
1 tbsp canola oil or any neutral oil
1 tbsp salted butter
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Honey Soy Sauce:
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 grated garlic cloves
1/4 tsp grated ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper (plus additional to taste)
Cooking Instructions:
Prepare the Honey Soy Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, grated garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well and set this delectable sauce aside to infuse the flavors.
Sauté the Onions: Heat a pan over medium heat. Thinly slice the onion and green onion stalk while the pan is warming up. Add the canola oil to the hot pan and sauté the onions until they turn translucent and caramelize, releasing their sweet aroma.
Build the Rice Base: While the onions are caramelizing, take a bowl to shape your cooked rice. Place the molded rice on top of the bed of sautéed onions in the pan.
Cook the Beef and Assemble: Arrange the thinly sliced beef around the edges of the rice bed. Allow the beef to cook for about 3 minutes, letting it sear beautifully. Once the beef is slightly browned, top the rice with corn, green onions, and butter.
Combine and Crisp: Drizzle the honey soy sauce evenly over the beef and rice, ensuring that the flavors meld together. Gently mix everything together in the pan until the ingredients are well combined, and the beef has taken on a rich, golden hue. Carefully spread out the mixture to allow the rice to crisp up slightly.
Add the Cheesy Finish: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the entire dish, creating a luscious layer that will melt beautifully. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid, letting the cheese melt for about 3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese has melted into a gooey goodness, remove the lid and garnish the dish with the reserved slices of green onion. The vibrant green will add a pop of color and freshness. Now, your Beef Pepper Rice is ready to be savored!
The Beef Pepper Rice recipe is a fantastic fusion of flavors and textures, marrying the succulence of beef with the sweetness of caramelized onions, the crunch of corn, and the creaminess of melted mozzarella cheese. With the aromatic honey soy sauce tying everything together, this dish is a symphony of tastes that will satisfy your cravings and impress your taste buds. So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed! 😉
