Description
A fast and flavorful skillet meal inspired by Pepper Lunch. Thinly sliced beef, buttery rice, sweet corn, and a savory honey-garlic sauce come together for a sizzling, comforting dish you can make at home in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 serving cooked rice
- ¼ large onion, thinly sliced
- 120–150 g thinly sliced beef
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- ¼ cup corn kernels
- 1 stalk green onion, diced
- 1 poached egg (optional)
Sauce:
- 1–2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¼ tbsp sesame oil (optional)
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, add a small amount of oil, and sauté sliced onion for 1–2 minutes.
- Push onions to the edge of the pan. Place cooked rice in the center and arrange beef around it.
- Pour sauce over beef and rice, place butter on top of the rice, then sprinkle with corn and green onion.
- Increase heat to medium and stir everything together until the beef is cooked and the sauce coats all ingredients.
- Top with a poached egg if desired and serve hot straight from the pan.
Notes
- Swap beef with chicken, salmon, or tofu for variety.
- Let rice sit in the pan before stirring for crispy bits.
- Add vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
- Adjust sauce sweetness or saltiness to your taste.
- Day-old rice yields better texture but fresh rice works too.
