how to make Korean BBQ Steak Bowls

Marinate the steak first so it gets good flavor. Cook rice while the steak marinates. Make the spicy cream sauce in a small bowl. Cook the steak in a hot pan until done, then let it rest before slicing. The method is simple and similar to quick skillet steaks like an Amish hamburger steak bake but with a Korean twist.

Ingredients :

1 lb Flank steak
1 cup Carrots
1 cup Cucumber
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Ginger
1/4 cup Green onions
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Lime juice
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Soy sauce, gluten-free
2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
2 cups Jasmine rice, Cooked
Black pepper to taste
2 tbsp Brown sugar
Salt to taste
1 tsp Sesame oil
2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions :

Start by marinating the flank steak with soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and black pepper. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lime juice, Sriracha, and sesame oil to create the spicy cream sauce.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated flank steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.
While the steak is resting, prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrots and cucumber, and chop the green onions.
To assemble the bowls, place a serving of rice at the bottom, top with sliced steak, and add carrots, cucumber, and green onions. Drizzle the spicy cream sauce over the top.
Serve and enjoy your Korean BBQ steak bowls!

Serve warm. Put rice first, then steak slices, then vegetables. Drizzle the spicy cream sauce on top. Add more green onions or sesame seeds if you like. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
