Slice garlic into thin pieces, heat generous oil in a pan, and fry until crisp to make garlic flakes and garlic oil.
Chop half of the fried garlic flakes finely, and finely chop the green onion.
In a pot, add garlic oil and butter, then stir-fry the soaked rice (soaked for over 30 minutes) until the outer layer of each grain becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic flakes, 4 cups of water, and kombu to the stir-fried rice, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and cook for 14 minutes.
Season the steak with salt, sear the surface quickly over high heat until crispy, cooking to medium rare, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
After 14 minutes, remove the lid, take out the kombu, then top the rice with the grilled steak, chopped green onion, remaining garlic flakes, and a small amount of butter. Cover again and let sit on residual heat for 3–5 minutes to finish.
Fry sliced garlic in oil to make garlic flakes and oil; season the beef.
Heat garlic oil and butter in a pot, stir-fry soaked rice, then add water and kombu to cook rice for 14 minutes.
Sear the beef until golden brown, slice it, then place on top of the rice along with green onion, garlic flakes, and butter, and steam for 5 minutes.
Cooking tips 💡
Stir-frying rice in garlic oil and butter (toasting) coats each grain, preventing clumping and ensuring fluffy, separate grains.
The steak will continue cooking from residual heat during steaming, so searing only the surface to medium rare ensures tenderness.
The key to foolproof juk is maintaining a 1:1 ratio between soaked rice and water.
