Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb beef steak (flank, skirt, or New York strip), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)

For the Spicy Cream Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the steak cubes, toss to coat evenly, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  2. Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juiciness.
  3. Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Place a scoop of cooked rice in each bowl. Top with the grilled or pan-cooked steak cubes, then drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce.

Notes

  • You can add extra vegetables like sautéed spinach or pickled cucumbers to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Reduce the amount of sriracha in the sauce for less spiciness.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for larger groups.
