Description

A flavorful fusion dish featuring tender Korean-style marinated steak served over fluffy jasmine rice and topped with a creamy, spicy Sriracha-lime sauce. Perfect for quick dinners or meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak, cubed or thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups jasmine or white rice
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Sliced green onions (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Pickled cucumbers, radishes, or kimchi (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the steak, toss to coat, cover, and marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Cook the jasmine or white rice according to package instructions. Fluff once done.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 3–5 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice against the grain.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Assemble bowls by layering rice, sliced steak, and drizzling with spicy cream sauce. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional pickles or kimchi.
  6. Serve immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate steak overnight.
  • Use tamari and gluten-free gochujang for a gluten-free version.
  • Sauce spice level can be adjusted with more or less Sriracha.
  • Store rice, steak, and sauce separately for meal prep.
