Ingredients
Beef Marinade
- 1 lb beef ribeye cut into 1-1½" cubes
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 2 tbsp garlic oil
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch or tapioca starch for coating beef
- vegetable oil
- maggi for salt
Tomato Rice
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 c cooked long grain rice
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- Fish sauce to taste or salt or Maggi
Sauteed Vegetables
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ white or yellow onion cut into large 1½" chunks
- 1 bell pepper cut into large 1½" chunks
- ½ stalk green onion cut into 2" pieces
Instructions
Shaking Beef
- Combine all the ingredients and beef except for the cornstarch in a bowl and marinate for at least 1 hour.
- While this marinates, wash and prep all the veggies.
- Before cooking, transfer the beef to another plate to remove excess liquid and to come to room temp for about an hour.
- Coat each piece of beef in cornstarch. Heat a pan on medium high or high, then brown the meat on all sides in about 2-4 batches depending on the size of your pan.
- Once you have cooked all your beef, add them into a pan with the vegetables over medium-low heat, and stir for about 2 minutes.
- Plate the veggies and beef. Add some Maggi to salt to taste.
Tomato Rice
- Prepare and cook 1 c of rice as you would normally. I like to use a rice cooker and follow the instructions.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add oil and garlic until fragrant and brown. Stir the garlic so it doesn’t burn.
- Add the rice and stir thoroughly to coat with the garlic.
- Add the tomato paste and continue to stir to incorporate the red coloring evenly throughout the rice.
- Add a few splashes of fish sauce and taste the rice. I would start with two dashes and build from there, you don’t want to add too much saltiness since this will be eaten with the beef.
Vegetables
- Wash and prep all vegetables.
- Put 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and bell peppers. Saute for about 2 minutes until the onions turn slightly translucent, but not too soft.
- Add green onions last to prevent them from wilting, stir to mix.
- Remove the vegetables and place aside in a bowl. You will be mixing these again with the beef.
