Ingredients
- flank or sirloin steak
- chicken breast or tofu (for vegetarian option)
- soy sauce
- brown sugar
- sesame oil
- garlic
- ginger
- jasmine or sushi rice
- brown rice or cauliflower rice (for healthier alternative)
- bell peppers
- carrots
- green onions
- snap peas or zucchini (optional substitutes)
- mayonnaise
- gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- lime juice
- Greek yogurt (for lighter option)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the steak, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. If using jasmine rice, typically it’s a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
- While the rice cooks, slice your chosen vegetables. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the vegetables until they're tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your preferred doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, gochujang, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust the spice level by adding more gochujang if you like it spicier.
- Start with a base of rice in each bowl, then top with sliced steak and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with the spicy cream sauce and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Keywords: Marinate the steak overnight for the best flavor. If you can’t find gochujang, mix sriracha with a bit of miso paste for a similar taste. Consider adding a fried egg on top or including kimchi for a traditional side.
