Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g ribeye steak very thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice preferably a day old
  • ½ cup canned sweet corn
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
Pepper Butter Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Make the Pepper Butter
  1. In a small bowl, mix the butter, black pepper, soy sauce, and garlic powder until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the Plate or Skillet
  1. Heat a cast iron plate or a thick skillet on medium-high until very hot. You want it almost smoking.
Build the Plate
  1. Put the hot cooked rice in the center of the plate. Surround it with slices of raw ribeye, corn, and chopped green onions.
Top with Butter
  1. Add the pepper butter mix right on top of the rice.
Let it Sizzle
  1. Once it hits the plate, everything should start sizzling. Stir everything together using tongs or chopsticks. Let the steak cook on the hot surface for 2–3 minutes or until just cooked through.
Serve Right Away
  1. Enjoy while it’s still sizzling and hot!

Notes

  • The thinner the steak slices, the faster and better they cook on the plate. Ask your butcher to slice the ribeye thinly if you don't have a sharp knife.
  • Use jasmine or short-grain rice for the best texture—day-old rice works best to avoid sogginess.
  • A heavy cast iron pan is the best alternative if you don’t have a sizzle plate.
  • Add a raw egg on top just before serving for a classic Pepper Lunch look.
