Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Flank Steak (or sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (adjust as needed)
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (honey can be a substitute)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated) (or ground ginger)
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups Cooked Jasmine Rice (or quinoa or cauliflower rice)
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (chopped)
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots (or bell peppers or snap peas)
  • 1 cup Cucumber (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey (or agave syrup for vegan)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak by combining soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl.
  2. Add the steak to the marinade and ensure it is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your preferred doneness.
  4. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  5. Prepare the spicy cream sauce by blending mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Assemble each bowl starting with cooked jasmine rice, arranged with sliced steak, shredded carrots, and cucumber on top.
  7. Drizzle with the spicy cream sauce and sprinkle chopped green onions for a finishing touch.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the steak longer. Feel free to swap vegetables based on personal preference.
