Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white rice or jasmine rice
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • ½ cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: kimchi or pickled radish
  • Optional sauce drizzle: 2 tbsp gochujang mixed with 1 tbsp mayo

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice 1 lb flank steak against the grain into ¼ inch thick strips.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and ½ tsp black pepper.
  3. Add steak strips to marinade and toss well to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the fridge.
  4. Cook 2 cups of white or jasmine rice according to package instructions. Fluff and keep warm.
  5. Julienne 1 cup carrots, thinly slice 1 cup cucumber, shred ½ cup red cabbage, and slice 2 green onions. Set aside.
  6. Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot (3-4 minutes).
  7. Add marinated steak strips in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked to medium rare or preferred doneness.
  8. Remove steak and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  9. Divide warm rice into bowls. Arrange cooked steak strips on top, then pile on fresh vegetables.
  10. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
  11. Drizzle gochujang-mayo sauce over the bowls if desired.
  12. Serve with optional kimchi or pickled radish on the side immediately.

Notes

Marinate steak for at least 15 minutes for flavor and tenderness; up to 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor. Do not overcrowd the pan when searing steak to ensure caramelization. Let steak rest after cooking to keep it juicy. Adjust gochujang sauce heat to taste. Fresh veggies can be swapped seasonally. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and check gochujang ingredients. Leftovers store best with components separated.
