Method
 

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions; typically, this involves adding 500 ml of water and simmering for 15 minutes on low heat.
  2. While the rice is cooking, heat the large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable and sesame oil.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  4. Increase the heat and add the sliced beef sirloin, stirring until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Season the beef with black pepper and soy sauce, cooking for an additional 3 minutes for flavor.
  6. In the same pan, add the diced eggplant, stirring until soft and tender, about 5 minutes.
  7. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and place a generous serving on each plate.
  8. Spoon the peppered beef mixture over the rice, and arrange the chopped lettuce around the plate for color and crunch.
  9. Finish by topping it all with chopped cilantro and serving with a spoonful of yogurt on the side.
  10. Enjoy your Black Pepper Beef Rice Plate!
