Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white jasmine rice

Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Season and Cook the Steak: Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat.
  3. Make the Gochujang Soy Sauce: In a small bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar until well combined, creating a balanced spicy-sweet sauce.
  4. Prepare the Cream Sauce: In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sesame oil, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth to add a creamy contrast to the spicy sauce.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top each bowl with cooked steak slices. Drizzle the gochujang soy sauce over the steak, followed by a drizzle of the cream sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Flank steak is recommended for its tenderness and flavor, but sirloin or ribeye works well too.
  • Adjust gochujang quantity to your spice preference.
  • For extra texture, garnish with chopped scallions or toasted sesame seeds.
  • These bowls can be made ahead; keep components separate and assemble before serving.
  • Substitute white rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier version.
