Instructions
Step 01
1. Prepare the Beef: Pat the beef slices dry with paper
towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 02
2. Cook the Rice: If you don’t have cooked rice ready,
prepare 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions.
Step 03
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy
sauce, oyster sauce (if using), brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Set
aside.
Step 04
4. Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a
large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add half the beef slices in a
single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and repeat
with the remaining beef. Set aside.
Step 05
5. Cook the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce
heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until
fragrant but not browned. Pour in the prepared sauce mixture and stir to
combine.
Step 06
6. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef to the
skillet and toss in the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2
minutes to heat through.
Step 07
7. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among serving
bowls. Top with the garlic butter beef. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the
skillet over the beef.
Step 08
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with green onions, sesame
seeds, and fresh cilantro or parsley. Add red chili flakes if desired. Serve
immediately.
