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
- 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 and toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak cubes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the desired doneness is achieved. Remove from heat and allow the steak to rest for several minutes to retain juices.
- Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the Bowls: Place a scoop of cooked rice into each serving bowl. Top the rice with the cooked steak cubes and drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinating the steak for longer enhances flavor and tenderness.
- You can substitute the beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the sauce depending on your preferred spice level.
- Use leftover rice or freshly cooked rice; jasmine rice adds a fragrant touch.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure you use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
