How to Make Teriyaki Beef and Avocado Rice Stack
Ingredients:
For the teriyaki beef:
- 1 lb beef steak (sirloin or flank)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the rice stack:
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: additional teriyaki sauce for drizzling
Directions:
-
Start by marinating the beef. Mix the beef with the teriyaki sauce and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, you can let it sit overnight in the fridge for even more flavor.
-
Next, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Take the beef out of the marinade and add some salt and pepper. Cook the beef for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until it’s done the way you like. Once it’s cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
-
Now it’s time to build your stack! Start with a layer of cooked rice at the bottom of a plate. Add a layer of sliced teriyaki beef and top it with slices of avocado.
-
Keep layering until you’ve used all your tasty ingredients, finishing with avocado on top.
-
Drizzle a little more teriyaki sauce for extra flavor and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a nice touch.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy your Teriyaki Beef and Avocado Rice Stack!
