For the Marinated Beef

  • 250 g beef tenderloin or thick steak (very finely sliced)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (light or all-purpose)
  • 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)

For the Vegetables

  • 4 cups cooked white rice (preferably short grain)
  • 2 large carrots (cut into 5 x 0.5 cm batons)
  • 2 large zucchini (cut into 5 x 0.5 cm batons)
  • 1 bunch spinach (cut into 5 cm lengths)
  • 4 cups bean sprouts
  • 8 large dried shiitake mushrooms

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1/4 piece green apple (grated)
  • 8 tsp vegetable oil (separated)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tsp soy sauce (light or all-purpose)
  • 1/4 tsp fish sauce (sub soy)
  • 1/4 tsp white sugar
  • 2.5 tsp sesame oil (toasted)

Instructions
 

Prepare Bibimbap Sauce

  • In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of gochujang paste, 2 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1.5 teaspoons of soy sauce, 3 teaspoons of white sugar, and 1 finely grated garlic clove. Stir well and set aside.

Marinate Beef

  • In another bowl, combine the sliced beef, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes.

Prepare Vegetables

  • Prepare all your vegetables by washing and cutting them as described in the ingredients section.

Cook Vegetables

  • In a large pan, heat 8 teaspoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Start by cooking the carrots for 2-3 minutes until a bit soft, then add the zucchini and shiitake mushrooms, cooking for another 3 minutes.
  • Remove these veggies and cook the spinach and bean sprouts separately until just wilted. Season each vegetable with a little salt while cooking.

Assemble Bibimbap

  • In a bowl, place a serving of cooked white rice. Arrange the cooked vegetables and marinated beef on top.
  • Fry an egg sunny-side-up and gently place it on top of your bowl.
  • Drizzle with the prepared Bibimbap sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It's best to keep the rice and vegetables separate to maintain their textures.
