Korean-style Denver Steak Bibimbap with Brown Basmati, Rainbow Veg & Gochujang

Prep time: 15 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Korean
Food group: Beef

Our take on a Korean bibimbap stars juicy Denver steaks from British beef, sizzled to perfection and served on top of a vibrant rice bowl - we're talking nutty brown basmati rice, tender green beans, bright carrots and leafy pak choi, all infused with fiery gochujang and umami miso. Drizzle with a lime and chilli sauce, for an extra kick, and you're ready to dig in.

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium frying pan, a small bowl & a grater

Do the prep

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Thinly slice the onion. Trim and cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces. Coarsely grate the carrot (peel optional). Trim and cut the green beans into thirds. Quarter the lime

Fried rice time

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion, green beans and carrot and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Add the pak choi to the pan, cook for 1 min, then add the rice and cook for a further 3 mins. Stir through the miso, gochujang and half the lime juice

Get sizzlin'

  • Meanwhile, heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium, or 3-4 mins for medium-well. For thicker steaks, cook for an additional 30 secs on each side). Quickly sear the edges of the steaks, then leave to rest
  • In the small bowl, mix the chilli paste with the remaining lime juice and a pinch of salt

Plate up

  • Slice the steaks against the grain
  • Share the veggie fried rice between bowls, topped with the steaks. Drizzle over the chilli drizzle (for those who'd like more heat)
