step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Cook the rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm.

2 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Quarter lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve the snow peas crosswise (removing the tough strings if desired). Cut the scallions into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, hoisin sauce, 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

3 Cook the beef

Separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels and place in a bowl. Add the cornstarch; toss to thoroughly coat. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a thin layer of oil on medium-high. Once the oil is hot enough that a pinch of cornstarch sizzles immediately when added, add the coated beef in an even layer (discarding any excess cornstarch). Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned and just cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

4 Cook the vegetables & serve your dish

To the pan of reserved fond, add the sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Heat on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the halved peas and scallion pieces; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the cooked beef and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked rice topped with the cooked beef and vegetables. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
