ingredients

For the Kimchi Fried Rice

  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup chopped kimchi
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 minced shallot
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 2 chopped green onions

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, add the beef chuck roast cubes to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight to allow the flavors to infuse to the max.

  • Step 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and brown the cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Set aside, and discard any remaining marinade.

  • Step 3

    In the same pot, add onions, bell pepper, garlic and ginger. Cook until soft the vegetables begin to soften, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, honey, and soy sauce. Cook for another minute or two.

  • Step 4

    Add peeled tomatoes (and their juices), black soy beans, kidney beans, and beef broth. Return the browned beef and stir until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot, and let it cook over low heat for 2 hours.

  • Step 5

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Sauté shallot and garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Add the kimchi, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it starts to soften. Add the rice to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, making sure the rice is well coated with the kimchi mixture. Add soy sauce and chopped green onion, and stir to combine.

  • Step 7

    Push the rice to one side of the skillet or create a space in the middle. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble them. Once cooked, mix them into the rice.

  • Step 8

    Spoon a generous portion of the Kimchi Fried Rice into a bowl. Pour 1-2 cups of the Korean BBQ-Inspired Beef Chili over top. Garnish with sliced green onion. Enjoy!
