Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk miso, ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, and 3 tbsp water in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add beef in a single layer and sear 60-90 seconds per side without moving — surface should caramelize.

  4. Step 4

    Pour miso sauce over beef and toss until coated, 30-45 seconds. Edges should look glossy and caramelized.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between bowls and top with glazed beef, white scallion parts, and sesame seeds.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter green scallion tops and nori strips over the top if using. Serve immediately.
