Ingredients
  

For the beef marinade
  • 1 pound beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced Choose tender cuts that absorb the marinade well.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or a gluten-free alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
For the bowl
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown) Cook according to package instructions.
  • 1 cup sweet corn (frozen or fresh) Add during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream Use to make the creamy sauce.
  • 1 each green onion, chopped (for garnish)
  • to taste optional sesame seeds (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the thinly sliced beef and ensure it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions, using vegetable broth for added flavor if desired.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked.
  2. In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, add the sweet corn to the skillet and stir to combine.
Assembly
  1. In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream (or coconut cream) with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, add a splash of the beef marinade.
  2. Serve a portion of cooked rice in a bowl, top with the beef and corn mixture, and drizzle the creamy sauce over it.
  3. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onion and sesame seeds for garnish. Enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for coconut cream or Greek yogurt. Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or broccoli.
