Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or short-grain white rice

Spicy Cream Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  2. Cook the steak: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and rest briefly.
  3. Prepare the spicy cream sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust heat level by adding more Sriracha if desired.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with cooked steak slices, and drizzle with spicy cream sauce. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or kimchi for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra authentic flavor, add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions on top.
  • Use leftover steak or substitute with grilled beef for a quicker version.
  • Adjust spiciness of the cream sauce to personal preference.
  • Cook rice ahead of time and keep warm for easy assembly.
  • This recipe works well with other cuts of beef like ribeye or skirt steak.
