Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic in a bowl. Add beef slices and toss to coat evenly.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds. Add beef in a single layer.

  3. Step 3

    Sear 90 seconds without stirring until edges brown, then flip and cook 60 seconds more. Remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    While beef cooks, wilt spinach in a separate skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds, then set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top with beef, wilted spinach, kimchi, and seaweed pieces.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with miso soup alongside and a drizzle of kimchi juice over the bowl if desired.
