# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 tablespoons avocado oil
02 - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
03 - 3 cups cooked short grain white rice
04 - 1/2 pound thinly sliced shabu shabu beef or ribeye
05 - 1/2 cup corn kernels
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
07 - 2 green onions, sliced

09 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
10 - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
11 - 1 tablespoon honey
12 - 1 tablespoon mirin or rice vinegar
13 - 2 garlic cloves, minced

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, mirin, and minced garlic. Set aside.
02 - Heat avocado oil in a cast iron or carbon steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and sauté for about 4 minutes, until caramelized.
03 - Lower the heat to medium. Move onions to the edges of the pan and place packed rice in the center. Arrange sliced beef around the rice over the onions.
04 - Add corn, butter, and green onions on top of the rice. Sprinkle generously with ground black pepper.
05 - Drizzle the prepared sauce over all ingredients. Stir everything together and let it sizzle for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use a rice cooker for fluffy white rice and freeze beef for an hour for easier slicing.
02 - Cast iron or carbon steel pans provide the best sear for restaurant-style texture.
03 - Add mushrooms or bell peppers for variety, and garnish with sesame seeds or chili oil.
