Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Marinade
- 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
- â…› tsp black pepper
Rice
- 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
Spicy Cream Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- ¼ tsp salt
- â…› 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, toss to coat evenly, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to enhance the flavor and tenderness.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak cubes for 3-4 minutes per side, adjusting the cooking time based on your desired doneness. Once cooked through, remove from heat and allow the steak to rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
- Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed to balance the creaminess and spice.
- Assemble the Bowls: Place a scoop of cooked rice in each bowl, top with the grilled or pan-seared steak cubes, then drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce for a flavorful finish.
Notes
- Marinate the steak for longer (up to 2 hours) for deeper flavor intensity.
- Use your preferred cut of beef but flank, skirt, or New York strip work best for quick cooking and tenderness.
- Adjust the spice level of the sauce by varying the amount of sriracha.
- For a healthier option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt and use brown rice or cauliflower rice.
- Letting the meat rest after cooking is crucial to maintain juiciness.
