Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
