Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Place rice, water, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir once, turn the heat down to low, cover, and cook until completely tender, about 15–⏱️ 20 minutes.

For the carrots:

Meanwhile, finish cooking the beef. Wipe out the pan with a wet paper towel and tongs. Add more avocado oil if needed. Dump in the beef along with all of the marinade. Sauté until beef is no longer pink. Be careful not to overcook!

For the bibimbap sauce:
18
Whisk gochujang, sugar, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce. Whisk to dissolve the sugar.

To serve, get yourself a bowl of hot rice. Spoon some bibimbap sauce on top. Place a fried egg in the middle. Arrange the vegetables, beef, and kimchi neatly around the egg.

Stir everything all together just before eating. Enjoy!

Note: If gluten-free, substitute tamari or coconut aminos for soy sauce. Gochujang, kimchi, and mirin are traditionally gluten-free but some store-bought brands may have added wheat, so check the labels!
