- 4 tablespoons Gochujang
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse 2 cups of short grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add it to a rice cooker with 2.5 cups of water and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions. Once done, keep the rice warm until serving.
Thinly slice 1 pound of ribeye steak into bite-sized pieces. Mince 2 garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine the sliced steak, garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix well and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare 4 cups of bibimbap vegetables: Julienne 1 cup of carrots and 1 cup of cucumber, blanch 1 cup of spinach, and rinse 1 cup of bean sprouts.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the steak and stir-fry until cooked to your liking, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add a bit more vegetable oil if necessary and sauté each vegetable separately until tender, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Set aside each vegetable in separate bowls.
Fry 4 eggs sunny side up in a pan with a bit of oil until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove from the pan and set aside.
For the gochujang sauce, in a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of sugar until smooth.
To assemble, divide the warm rice into four bowls. Arrange the stir-fried vegetables, cooked beef, and a fried egg on top of each bowl.
Drizzle each serving with a spoonful of gochujang sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
Mix everything in the bowl before eating to enjoy the delicious combination of flavors in Bi Bim Bap.
