Bibimbap is a staple Korean dish that has gained popularity around the world. Traditionally, it consists of rice, vegetables, meat, egg, and gochujang (spicy red pepper paste), all served in a bowl and mixed together before eating. The name literally translates to 'mixed rice'. The beauty of this dish is that it is versatile and takes on the flavors of whatever ingredients you use. It is a great meal to make when you have leftover vegetables in your fridge that need to be used up.

Instructions

1.In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with the minced garlic, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and olive oil until the beef is well coated.
2.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
3.In a separate skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
4.Using the same skillet, add another teaspoon of sesame oil and the carrots. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
5.In a small bowl, mix together the gochujang paste with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
6.To assemble the bibimbap, divide the rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with equal amounts of the cooked beef, spinach, carrots, and cucumber.
7.Crack an egg on top of each bowl.
8.Drizzle the gochujang sauce over each bowl.
