Steak and Spinach Bibimbap

January 14, 2015 by Holly 9 Comments

Steak and Spinach Bibimbap

It seems that I tend to eat (or feed) steak quite often these days. Can’t deny that I currently live in a beef loving country.

I had some leftover beef lomo cut (beef tenderloin) and decide to use it up on a Korean flavored meal. By the way, I love the sound of the Spanish word “lomo”. I am one of the lomo lovers.

Anyway, I am not sure if I can call this a recipe, but you might like what I did.  My kids and I devoured the entire skillet of this lovely bibimbap within 5 minutes.

Let’s make the sauce to top up the bibimbap. Fry some minced garlic in oil.

 

tutorial-2

Add gochujang (Korean chili paste) and other sauce ingredients. Bring it to boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

 

tutorial-3

The sauce is done. You can use this sauce for any type of Korean bibimbap. So good!

 

tutorial-4

Cook steak according to your taste. I only seasoned mine with salt and pepper, and cooked it to medium.

You can use other cuts of tender beef, such as ribeye or striploin. Just make sure to not to overcook them.

 

tutorial-5

Saute spinach with some salt in a little bit of oil, then transfer to a plate. Set aside. (You can also use leftover Korean Spinach side dish instead of this step if you like.)

Oh, and if you don’t like the long strands of spinach, chop it up! Simple!

 

tutorial-6

Cut the beef against grain into thin slices.

 

tutorial-v

Place some rice, beef, and spinach on a heated skillet over medium heat. Drizzle the sauce – however much you desire – and start mixing altogether until everything mingles and is coated with sauce. It should take about 1-2 minute. You will hear the delicious sizzling sound coming out from the skillet.

 

Steak and Spinach Bibimbap

Done! Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds to add nuttiness and to drive you nuts for all the great flavor!

Dig in while it’s sizzling hot! You’ve gotta love it! My kids and I didn’t even use individual rice bowls. We just ate out of skillet all together. That’s the Korean way of family bonding. We love each other so much that we don’t mind our spoons touching.

This is one of the simplest way of making bibimbap in a heated skillet. If you don’t like spinach? Use whatever vegetable you like. Anything will taste great!

    So simple! I love bibimbap but to prepare all the traditional ingredients is so time consuming. Your steak and spinach version seems easy breezy and yummy :-) Thanks for the idea Holly!

      I know, the traditional bibimbap is great but takes so much time and effort to make. I enjoy making simplified version of using 1-2 ingredients in bibimbap and enjoy the same goodness that bibimbap delivers.
