- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar

Instructions
Instructions for cooking the rice:
- Start by rinsing the rice under cold water to remove any excess starch. This will help ensure fluffy and separate grains of rice.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups of rinsed rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes. This will allow the rice to steam and become even fluffier.
- After 5 minutes, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Your fluffy and perfectly cooked rice is now ready to be used in the Rice, Beef, and Avocado Bowl.
Preparing the beef for the bowl:
- Start by thinly slicing the beef against the grain. This will help break up the muscle fibers and result in a more tender texture.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the sliced beef in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure all the beef slices are coated in the marinade. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator. This will infuse the beef with flavor and make it tender.
Cooking the beef:
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef slices to the pan in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the beef from searing properly.
- Cook the beef for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, cook the beef for about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the cooking time based on your personal preference.
- Remove the cooked beef from the pan and set it aside to rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute and keep the beef tender and juicy.
- Repeat the cooking process with any remaining beef slices, if necessary.
Assembling the rice, beef, and avocado bowl:
- Start by dividing the cooked rice evenly among serving bowls.
- Top the rice with the cooked beef slices, arranging them in an attractive manner.
- Add the sliced avocados on top of the beef.
- Drizzle the remaining marinade over the bowl for added flavor.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped cilantro.
- Serve the Rice, Beef, and Avocado Bowl immediately and enjoy!

Tips and tricks for making the perfect rice, beef, and avocado bowl
To ensure that your Rice, Beef, and Avocado Bowl turns out perfectly every time, here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind:- Use high-quality beef for the best flavor and tenderness. Look for cuts like sirloin or flank steak.
- Allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Thinly slice the beef against the grain to ensure tender meat.
