1
Chop all your veggies first and set them aside.
-
2
Slice up your meat thinly, season with some salt, and set aside to bring to room temperature.
-
3
Pull out a pot for your rice and at the same time pull out two pans, one for your veggies and one for your meat.
-
4
For the rice: Fill a pot with water, place on high heat and bring to a boil.
-
5
Once the water is at a boil you want to toss some salt in the water, then the rice.
-
6
Cover the pot with a tight lid and simmer on low for 8 to 12 minutes.
-
7
For the veggies: Spray a pan with non stick spray, then drizzle with olive oil.
-
8
Bring pan to a medium-high heat first before adding anything.
-
9
Add your carrots.
-
10
Stir them around for a minute.
-
11
Add your cauliflower and stir around for about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
12
Add your garlic and stir around for a minute.
-
13
Add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, make sure heat is relatively high, but not scorching, now cover the pan for a few minutes.
-
14
Good things will start to happen.
-
15
Keep a close eye on it and stir if needed.
-
16
Repeat the step of adding water again if veggies are not soft.
-
17
They should be but if your pieces are bigger than mine you might want to do this a second time for about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
-
18
It just steams the veggies a bit and softens them up.
-
19
Once finished remove from heat.
-
20
For the meat: Spray the other pan with non stick spray, then drizzle with olive oil.
-
21
Bring pan to a medium-high heat first before adding anything.
-
22
Add your meat.
-
23
It will sizzle so be careful.
-
24
Stir it around for a minute.
-
25
Keep stirring around your beef.
-
26
It should be starting to brown nicely.
-
27
Add the ponzu sauce and stir for a minute.
-
28
Your meat should now be done or almost done.
-
29
You want it brown but still soft.
-
30
You can add more olive oil at any point if you find it drying.
-
31
If its done turn off heat and remove from burner.
-
32
Putting it all together: Your rice, steak and veggies should have all finished up relatively around the same time.
-
33
Now you can either just pop it all into one large bowl and mix it up and serve from there.
-
34
Or you can do individual bowls and layer it.
-
35
This is how I like to do it.
-
36
If you do this, add a scoop of rice into your bowl.
-
37
Pop some veggies over top.
-
38
Pop some meat over top of that.
-
39
You can add a teaspoon or so of more ponzu if you like.
-
40
I usually do.
-
41
Serve with a big old healthy smile!
-
42
Notes: It may seem complicated with 2 pans going but I like to cook my veggies separately.
-
43
You could also just steam them if you have a steamer.
-
44
This dish is all about timing so plan your time well.
