RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
BEEF
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the beef strips dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the beef until browned, 30-60 seconds (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
ONION & CORN
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil, if necessary. When hot, fry the sliced onions and the corn until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
Add the tomato paste, the soy sauce, the crushed peppercorns, and the grated garlic to the pan. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 50ml of water and simmer until slightly thickening, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the beef strips and the chopped spinach until the spinach is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (optional) (to taste), and season.
