Ingredients
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
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
For the Rice:
- 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
For the Spicy Cream Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Steak: Add the cubed beef steak to the marinade and toss to evenly coat. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak cubes and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until they reach your desired level of doneness and develop a nice char.
- Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: While the steak is cooking, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Rice Bowls: Place the cooked rice in serving bowls, top with the hot cooked steak cubes, and drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute the rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang and sriracha if you prefer a milder or spicier dish.
- For added freshness, garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped cilantro.
- Use a cast iron skillet for a better sear on the steak.
- Marinating the beef longer (up to 2 hours) will enhance the flavor even more.
