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
- 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. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes and 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, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
- Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for your preferred spice level.
- Assemble the Bowls: Place a scoop of cooked rice into each serving bowl. Top the rice with the cooked steak cubes, then drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For the best flavor, marinate the steak for at least 1 hour if time allows.
- Use any type of rice you prefer: white, brown, or jasmine all work well.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the sauce to control the spice level.
- Resting the steak after cooking helps keep it juicy and tender.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the soy sauce is gluten-free.
