Korean-Style Beef and Rice Bowls

Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or longer in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the marinated beef in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which steams rather than browns the beef). Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Divide the cooked rice evenly between two serving bowls. Top with the stir-fried beef.

Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
