Ingredients
Steak
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Rice
- 2 cups cooked white or jasmine rice
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Spicy Cream Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
Instructions
- Marinate and Cook the Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, brown sugar, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the steak and marinate for at least 20 minutes to enhance the flavor. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
- Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, gochujang, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Adjust the spice level by adding more gochujang if desired.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly into bowls. Top each bowl with sliced steak and drizzle the spicy cream sauce generously over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
Notes
- You can substitute the steak with chicken, tofu, or tempeh for a different protein option.
- For extra crunch, add chopped cucumbers or radishes as toppings.
- Adjust the spiciness of the sauce to your preference by varying the amount of gochujang.
- Cooked rice can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for convenience.
- Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures it remains juicy and tender when sliced.
