Ingredients
Scale
Beef Marinade
- 1/2 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Guacamole
- 1 ripe avocado
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
- 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
- 1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon oil for frying
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Mix well and let the beef marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil if necessary. Sear the marinated beef in batches until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set the cooked beef aside on a plate.
- Make the Guacamole: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado with the lime juice, minced garlic, salt to taste, and optionally, chopped cilantro. Mix until you reach a creamy but chunky consistency. Set aside.
- Fry the Egg: Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a small pan over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan and cook sunny-side-up until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the egg for garnish.
- Assemble the Bowl: Lay fresh spinach or mixed greens at the base of your bowl. Add the cooked beef on top, then a scoop of guacamole, followed by cheddar cheese cubes or shreds. Finally, place the sunny-side-up egg on top.
- Serve: Serve immediately. For extra flavor and heat, optionally drizzle some hot sauce or sriracha over the bowl before eating.
Notes
- You can substitute ribeye with sirloin or another tender beef cut.
- Letting the beef marinate longer enhances the flavor but 30 minutes is sufficient for a quick meal.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best guacamole flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, omit cheddar cheese.
- Serve with steamed rice or quinoa to make a more filling meal if desired.
