Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups of glutinous rice
- 1 pound of beef, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

- 2 cups of water
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Rinse the glutinous rice until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 2 hours.
2. In a bowl, mix the beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
3. Cut a piece of cheesecloth to fit the steamer basket. Drain the rice and put it in the cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth tightly to form a ball.
4. In a pot, bring the beef broth and water to a boil. Place the rice ball in the steamer basket and steam it over the boiling broth for 30 minutes.
5. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until cooked.
6. Remove the rice ball from the steamer basket and unwrap it from the cheesecloth. Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a serving plate.
7. Arrange the cooked beef on top of the rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
