Japanese Beef Bowls with Teriyaki Dressing

Steps

1. Preheat BBQ hot plate to high (if using). Prepare ginger. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
2. Pat beef dry. In a medium bowl, mix all remaining Japanese beef ingredients together, add beef and toss to coat well. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the meal.
3. Grate carrot; slice capsicum into 5mm strips; slice cucumber into thin matchsticks; finely slice spring onion (if using); thinly shred lettuce. Set all aside.
4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Stir-fry beef, in batches, for about 1 minute, until just cooked through. Alternatively, use BBQ hot plate. Set aside, covered, to rest for a few minutes.
5. Combine all teriyaki dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
6. To serve, serve ¾ cup cooked Japanese brown rice into each bowl. Top with Japanese beef, chopped veggies and drizzle over teriyaki dressing. Sprinkle over sesame seeds (if using).
