Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce. Peel and mince garlic.
In a small pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Stir in rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with Sriracha to taste. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
Heat half the sesame oil (you’ll use the rest in the next step) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
Transfer to a second small bowl and cover to keep warm.
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add beef* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-5 minutes. TIP: Carefully pour out any excess grease.
Stir in half the vinegar, remaining sesame oil, 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze, and ½ tsp sugar (all the vinegar, 5 TBSP sweet soy glaze, and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce has thickened and beef is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper if desired. (Save remaining sweet soy glaze for another use.)
Remove from heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Fluff rice with a fork and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper.
Divide rice between bowls; top with carrot mixture and sesame soy beef. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo and sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve.
