Beef skirt steak (or tenderloin, or ground beef) 1/2 lbs
Carrot 1-2 pieces
Yellow pickled radish 4-5 pieces
Spinach 1 bunch
Eggs 2-3 pieces
Garlic 3 cloves
Soy sauce 2 tsp
Sugar 1 tbsp & 1 tsp
Salt 1 tsp
Sesame oil 2 tbsp
Vegetable oil (to cook the egg) 1 tsp
Black pepper 1 tsp
Place freshly cooked rice in a large, shallow bowl. Gently mix in salt and sesame oil using a rice scoop or wooden spoon. Set aside.
Blanch spinach, then mix in minced garlic, salt, and sesame oil in a bowl.
Cut carrot into matchsticks, mix with salt, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Heat a pan with a few drops of vegetable oil. Squeeze out excess water from the carrot, then sauté for 1 minute. Place next to the spinach.
Trim fat from skirt steaks and slice into ¼ inch wide strips. Mix with soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and sesame oil.
Heat a pan over medium-high and cook the marinated beef, stirring until fully cooked. Set aside.
Beat 3 eggs with ¼ teaspoon salt. Heat a 10-12 inch non-stick pan with a few drops of oil. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel, leaving a thin layer. Pour egg mixture into the pan, spreading it into a large circle.
Once the bottom is cooked, flip the egg and remove from heat. Let it cook in the pan for 5 minutes without browning. Slice into ½ inch strips and set aside with spinach.
To roll the gimbap, place a sheet of gim on a bamboo mat with the shiny side down. Spread about ¾ cup of rice, leaving 2 inches uncovered at the top.
Add beef, carrot, pickled radish, egg strips, and spinach in the center. Roll the mat tightly, pressing as you go.
Brush with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Slice into ¼ inch pieces with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts. Serve and enjoy!
