Sauce

  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
 

Season the Beef

  • Slice the beef about 1/2 inch thick.
  • In a bowl, toss it with a little oil, salt, and black pepper.
  • Let it sit while you prep the other ingredients.

Caramelize the Onion

  • Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat.
  • Add oil and cook the sliced onion until soft and caramelized.
  • Push the onion to the center of the pan.

Layer the Rice and Beef

  • Place the cooked rice right on top of the onions in the middle of the pan.
  • Arrange the seasoned beef around the rice in a ring.

Add the Rest

  • Sprinkle corn over the beef and rice.
  • Add a pat of butter right on top of the rice.
  • Drizzle in the sauce evenly across the pan.
  • Sprinkle chopped green onion over everything.
  • Add a few cracks of black pepper to finish.
  • (Optional) Drizzle in the cornstarch slurry if you want a glossy sauce.

Cook and Mix

  • Let it cook undisturbed until the beef is almost fully cooked and the sauce starts to bubble.
  • Then mix everything together so the butter melts, the beef finishes cooking, and the sauce coats the rice.
  • Serve hot straight from the pan, and enjoy the sizzle.
