FOR BIBIMBAP:
- Preheat oven to 400ยบ. One at a time in a medium bowl, toss carrots, zucchini, and shiitakes in enough oil just to coat and salt and pepper to taste. In a sheet pan, arrange each vegetable into their own quadrant, making sure the veg makes as much direct contact with the pan.
- Wipe out medium bowl, then whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, a pinch of kosher salt, and 7-8 grinds black pepper. Add sliced beef and toss to coat fully.
- Move sheet pan to oven and roast for 30 minutes, tossing each quadrant halfway through, until the beef is cooked through and the veggies have begun to brown.
- Just as you take the pan out of the oven, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook until the white is just set and the yolk is still runny.
- To serve, add rice to a bowl and top with one fried egg. Add your desired toppings (carrot, zucchini, mushroom, beef, spinach, and bean sprouts) arranging around the yolk. Repeat with 3 more bowls and serve with prepared sauce.
