Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 1 pound Flank or Sirloin Steak Substitute chicken or tofu for a lighter protein option.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Honey is a good substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Can substitute with vegetable oil in a pinch.
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) In powdered form, use 1/4 tsp per clove.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated) Ground ginger can be a substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be an alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Gochujang (optional) Use chili flakes for a milder heat.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Steak: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and gochujang. Add sliced steak, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  2. Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and desired doneness is reached.
  4. Assemble Bowls: Layer cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl, arrange cooked steak with shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and optional kimchi.
  5. Finish with Sauce: Drizzle spicy cream sauce over each bowl, allowing flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
