Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Marinade
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Main Bowl Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or white rice
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber slices
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Spicy Cream Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice level)
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Add the thinly sliced steak and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak slices and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the meat is caramelized on the outside and tender inside.
- Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: While the steak cooks, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked jasmine or white rice evenly into four bowls. Top each with cooked steak, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and shredded red cabbage.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the spicy cream sauce over each bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the sriracha in the sauce to make it milder or spicier.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Marinating the steak longer, up to 1 hour, will enhance flavor but is not necessary.
- Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch and color in the bowls.
- Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
