Bibimbap is a Korean rice bowl, topped with several different toppings and finished with a fried egg and a drizzle of bibimbap sauce. The sauce incorporates Gochujang, a fermented chilli paste that gives it a fabulous colour and spicy kick.

There's a real umami taste to this dish from the sauce and the dried Korean chilli powder I like to sprinkle on the finished dish.

Of course, you can leave out the beef and make this a vegetarian dish.

Method

To make the steak

Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix.
Add the steak and make sure it is completely coated in the marinade.
Put in the fridge to marinade overnight.
Set your Egg to 250°C with your cast iron pan directly on your stainless steel grid and cook for about 3 minutes per side. I aim for an internal temp of about 45°C when I take it off, this will rise to about 55°C as it rests.
Take the steak off the Egg and allow to rest in foil before finely slicing across the grain when you are ready to serve.

To make the sauce

Take all the ingredients and put them into a small bowl or pan and heat through. Keep warm to serve.

To make the vegetables

30 minutes before cooking or longer, soak the dried shiitake mushrooms by pouring over boiling water.
Using the same skillet you cooked the steak in, drop the Eggs temp to around 200°C.
Start by cooking the carrots and the courgette in a little groundnut oil. We want to cook them until they soften a little and start to brown. Once cooked set aside.
For the mushrooms, drain and slice into 5mm thick pieces. Fry in the pan with some garlic and some sesame oil until they brown.
At the same time as you are cooking the mushrooms, cook the bean sprouts in the same pan with some sesame oil, garlic and a little fish sauce.
Once all your toppings are ready, set aside somewhere warm.

Final cooking and assembly

If you are going to stir fry your rice, do it in your wok.
Now use your skillet to fry your 4 eggs.
Put your rice into 4 bowls and top with your vegetables, keeping them in separate piles on each rice bowl.
Add your sliced steak.
Top with a free egg and drizzle over some of the sauce.
Sprinkle over your sesame seeds and Korean dried chilli powder, and maybe add a little fresh coriander.
