Ingredients
✓
300g beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced thin
✓
2 tbsp honey
✓
1–2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
✓
2 tbsp soy sauce
✓
1 tbsp sesame oil
✓
2 cloves garlic, minced
✓
1 cup cooked jasmine or brown rice
✓
1 cup edamame (shelled)
✓
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
✓
1 large carrot, julienned or ribboned
✓
1 avocado, sliced
✓
Sesame seeds & green onion to garnish
Instructions
1
Make the hot honey glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, chili flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Taste and adjust heat level. Set aside.
2
Sear the beef: Heat a skillet or wok over high heat until smoking hot. Add a splash of oil, then sear the sliced beef in a single layer for 2 minutes without touching. Flip and cook 1 more minute. You want color on the outside.
3
Glaze it: Pour the hot honey mixture into the pan with the beef. Toss quickly over high heat for 60 seconds until the beef is coated and the glaze thickens and caramelizes slightly. Remove from heat immediately.
4
Build your bowl: Add a base of warm rice. Arrange edamame, shredded cabbage, carrot ribbons, and avocado slices around the bowl. Place the glazed beef in the center.
5
Finish & serve: Drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the bowl. Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onion. Serve immediately — this does not keep well once assembled.
Pro Tips to Make It Viral
🌟
Freeze the beef for 15 minutes before slicing — it makes paper-thin cuts infinitely easier and gives you better sear results.
🌟
Use a screaming hot pan. The caramelization of honey requires high heat. A non-stick pan on medium won’t cut it — use cast iron or a carbon steel wok.
🌟
For the shot: Build the bowl with ingredients in separate “zones” for maximum visual impact. Drizzle the extra glaze right before filming for that glossy money shot.
🌟
Add protein: Stir in a soft-boiled egg for extra protein and another visual element.
