Ingredients

4 servings

•

1 English cucumber, cut into matchsticks
•

0.25 cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
•

1 bunch fresh spinach, cut into thin strips
•

1 tablespoon soy sauce
•

2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
•

2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
•

1 clove garlic, minced

•

1 pinch red pepper flakes
•

1 pound thinly-sliced beef top round steak
•

4 large eggs
•

4 cups cooked white rice
•

4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
•

1 teaspoon sesame seeds
•

2 teaspoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), divided

Instructions

Stir together cucumber pieces and gochujang paste in a bowl; set aside.
Bring about 2 cups water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet and stir in spinach; cook until bright green and wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Drain spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible; set spinach aside in a bowl and stir in soy sauce.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet; cook and stir carrots until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cucumber mixture; sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Set carrot mixture aside in a bowl.
Brown beef in a clean nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side; set aside.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in another nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Fry eggs just on one side until yolks are runny, but whites are firm, 2 to 4 minutes.
Divide cooked rice into 4 large serving bowls; top with spinach mixture, a few pieces of beef, and cucumber mixture. Place 1 egg atop each serving. Drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a small amount of gochujang paste if desired.
