  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes (including marinating time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

  1. Marinate the Steak:
    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the ingredients are fully mixed. Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

  2. Cook the Steak:
    Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the heat and let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving.

  3. Make the Spicy Cream Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

  4. Assemble the Bowls:
    Scoop 1 cup of cooked rice into each bowl. Top with the cooked steak cubes and drizzle the spicy cream sauce generously over the top.

Notes

  • Marinating Time: For best results, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, but you can go up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

  • Rice Choices: You can use any type of rice you prefer—white, brown, or jasmine all work well with this dish.

  • Spicy Cream Sauce: Adjust the sriracha amount based on your preferred spice level. If you want less heat, reduce the sriracha and add more sour cream for a milder flavor.

  • Extra Vegetables: You can add sautéed spinach, pickled cucumbers, or even kimchi to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
