- Water (Amount not stated; add to the first-knuckle level above the rice.)
- Chuck steak (Slice as thinly as possible; partially freeze first to make slicing easier.)
- Soy sauce (A splash for the beef marinade; additional soy sauce is also used in the sauce, amount not stated.)
- Black pepper (For the beef marinade; amount not stated.)
- Garlic powder (For the beef marinade; amount not stated.)
- 0.25 tsp Baking soda (For tenderizing the beef (velveting).)
- 1 Onion (Rough-chopped.)
- 2 Bell peppers (Cut into chunks; color not specified.)
- Garlic cloves (Mince; amount not stated.)
- Ginger (Thinly slice across the fibers, then mince; amount not stated.)
- Green onions (Cut into approximately 1-inch sticks; amount not stated.)
- Oyster sauce (For the sauce; amount not stated.)
- Vinegar (For the sauce; type and amount not stated.)
- Red pepper flakes (Optional, to taste.)
- Ketchup (For the sauce; amount not stated.)
- Sugar or honey (Use a small sprinkling of either to balance the salt; exact amount not stated.)

- Chili crunch (For serving; amount not stated.)
Steps
- 1
Put rice in an oven-safe pan. Add water until it reaches the level of your first knuckle when your fingertip touches the rice.
- 2
Cover the pan and bake the rice at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes.
- 3
Slice the chuck steak as thinly as possible. Partially freezing it first makes thin slicing easier.
- 4
Marinate the beef with a splash of soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
- 5
Rough-chop the onion and cut the bell peppers into chunks.
- 6
Mince the garlic. Thinly slice the ginger across its fibers, then mince it to avoid long fibrous strands in the stir-fry.
- 7
Cut the green onions into approximately 1-inch sticks.
- 8
Mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and a small sprinkling of sugar or honey. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- 9
If the rice is cooked before you are ready to eat, or if you have leftovers, spread it on a flat surface and let it cool before packing it into a storage container.
- 10
Coat the beef with cornstarch, using just enough for a light, even coating.
- 11
Heat oil in a wok or sauté pan until it forms a puddle about 1/2 inch deep. Fry the beef in batches; it took about 10 minutes to fry all of it.
- 12
When the beef is golden brown and crispy, remove it from the oil.
- 13
Return the pan to the heat with about 2 tablespoons of oil.
- 14
Add the green onions, onion, and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are slightly charred but not fully cooked.
- 15
Add the ginger and garlic. Cook for another 60 to 90 seconds.
- 16
Return the fried beef to the pan and stir-fry everything together for about 30 seconds.
- 17
Add the prepared sauce. Let it simmer; the cornstarch coating thickens it into a sticky glaze.
- 18
Serve the crispy beef over the rice, topped with chili crunch.
Notes
The transcript does not specify quantities for most ingredients, the vinegar type, or a precise frying-oil amount. It mentions broccoli or cabbage as optional additions to the vegetables. No additional timing is given for the marinade or the sauce simmer.
