What is in Korean Beef Rice Bowls
- beef - I used beef sirloin, but you can also use flank steak. Cut the beef into 2-inch stir fry strips.
- beef marinade - made with a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, ground black pepper, ground ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. The cornstarch makes the beef more tender. These seasonings gives the beef its signature garlicky and gingery taste.
- rice - I used white steamed rice, but feel free to substitute with brown rice for a different option.
- potatoes - cooked with the beef for maximum flavour.
- vegetables for Korean-style side dishes (banchan) - broccoli florets, shredded carrots, chives, bean sprouts
- sauce for vegetables - soy sauce, rice vinegar (or black vinegar), sugar, sesame oil
- toppings - I topped these bowls with kimchi, chopped green onions, sliced cucumber, sesame seeds

FAQ and Tips for Making Korean Rice Bowls
- What is kimchi? Kimchi is dish of fermented vegetables (most often napa cabbage). It is a staple ingredient in Korean cuisine and adds that classic Korean flavour to this rice bowl. You can find it easily at Asian grocery stores, or you can even make your own.
- Can I use ground beef instead? Yes, you can use ground beef instead. Marinate the ground beef the exact same way, and fry it in a skillet. I would not recommend cooking it in the air fryer.
- Customize the veggies. The best part about of making rice bowls is that they are completely customizable. Some popular options to substitute the veggies with include spinach, zucchini, and eggplant.
