Tapsilog (Beef Tapa with Garlic Rice and Egg)

Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef Sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil (vegetable or canola)
• 4 cups Cooked Rice (day-old)
• 4 large Eggs

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1 pound of Beef Sirloin (thinly sliced), 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (gluten-free), 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar, 2 cloves of the 4 cloves Garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, and 2 tablespoons Vinegar. Stir to coat the beef evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or for better flavor, marinate it overnight.
2. 2Place a 12-inch skillet on the stove and heat 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil (vegetable or canola) over medium-high heat, which is about 375°F (190°C).
3. 3Carefully add the marinated beef slices to the hot skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to cook the beef in batches). Fry the beef for 2 to 4 minutes per side, until it is cooked through and has slightly crispy edges. Remove the cooked beef tapa from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
4. 4Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cooking Oil (vegetable or canola) to the same skillet if needed, and reduce the heat to medium, about 325°F (160°C). Add the remaining 2 cloves of the 4 cloves Garlic (minced) to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
5. 5Add the 4 cups of Cooked Rice (day-old) to the skillet with the garlic. Stir and break up any clumps of rice, then fry for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
6. 6Push the garlic fried rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the 4 large Eggs into the empty side of the skillet. Fry the eggs for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference (sunny-side up or over easy).
7. 7Serve the Tapsilog immediately by placing a portion of the garlic fried rice on each plate, topping it with some of the cooked beef tapa, and adding a fried egg on the side.
