Savor the bold flavors of Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls with Spicy Cream Sauce! Marinated flank steak meets fluffy jasmine rice, drizzled with creamy heat—an irresistible fusion perfect for any meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create a marinade. Add the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
  2. Step 2: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  3. Step 3: While the steak is resting, prepare the spicy cream sauce by combining mayonnaise and gochujang in a small bowl. Mix until well blended; adjust the amount of gochujang to taste depending on your spice preference.
  4. Step 4: To assemble the rice bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced steak and sprinkle with sliced green onions.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the spicy cream sauce generously over each bowl. Serve immediately and enjoy your Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls!

Notes

  • For optimal storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ensuring the spicy cream sauce is stored separately to maintain its freshness.
  • When reheating, warm the steak and rice gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out, then drizzle with fresh spicy cream sauce before serving.
  • For a delightful twist, consider adding pickled vegetables or kimchi as a garnish to your rice bowls for extra flavor and crunch that complements the dish beautifully.
  • To enhance the marinade's depth, allow the flank steak to marinate overnight; this will infuse it with richer flavors and make it even more tender when cooked.
