Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef steak (flank, skirt, or New York strip), cut into 1-inch cubes
Meat Marinade:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Rice:
- 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
Spicy Cream Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Infuse the steak with a robust marinade by combining soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing vessel.
- Submerge steak cubes completely in the marinade, ensuring thorough coating, and allow flavors to penetrate for 30 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Prepare a skillet or grill pan by heating to medium-high temperature, creating an ideal searing environment for the marinated meat.
- Transfer steak cubes to the hot surface, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes to achieve a perfect caramelized exterior while maintaining desired internal doneness.
- Remove steak from heat and let it rest momentarily, allowing juices to redistribute and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Craft the spicy cream sauce by whisking mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Taste and fine-tune the sauce’s seasoning, adjusting heat and saltiness to personal preference.
- Construct rice bowls by laying a foundation of fluffy cooked rice in serving dishes.
- Arrange seared steak cubes atop the rice, creating an appetizing presentation.
- Generously drizzle the vibrant spicy cream sauce over the meat, enhancing the dish’s flavor profile and visual appeal.
Notes
- Maximize marinade absorption by scoring the meat’s surface lightly before adding the marinade, allowing deeper flavor penetration.
- Create a low-carb version by replacing rice with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a lighter alternative.
- Elevate the sauce’s complexity by adding a splash of rice vinegar or grated fresh ginger for an extra tangy kick.
- Ensure steak remains juicy by using a meat thermometer and avoiding overcooking, aiming for medium-rare around 135°F for optimal tenderness.
