Instructions

Prepare the beef: Thinly slice the beef sirloin and season with salt and pepper. Toss the beef slices in cornstarch until evenly coated to achieve a crispy texture when cooked.
Cook the beef: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook the rice: If not already cooked, prepare 1 1/2 cups of white or jasmine rice according to package instructions to serve as the base of the bowl.
Prepare vegetables: While the beef is cooking or the rice is ready, shred carrots, slice bell peppers, and chop scallions to provide freshness and crunch.
Assemble the bowl: Plate the cooked rice as the base, top with crispy beef slices, then add the shredded carrots, bell peppers, and scallions on top for color and flavor.
Add sauce and garnish: Drizzle soy sauce over the bowl for savory depth. Optionally sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and top with a fried egg to enhance the dish further.
Serve immediately: Enjoy your Crispy Beef Rice Bowl hot as a satisfying and flavorful meal perfect any day of the week.

Notes

You can substitute beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
Feel free to add or swap in your favorite vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms.
For extra flavor, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger before coating with cornstarch.
Use leftover rice to save time and avoid extra cooking.
Adding a fried egg on top creates a richer, more filling meal.
