Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Flank Steak (or sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- To taste Black Pepper
- 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 use)
- To taste Salt
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the flank steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more intense flavor).
- Cook the Rice: Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions if it isn’t pre-cooked. Fluff it with a fork and allow it to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Sear the Steak: In a high-quality skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. A beautifully browned crust will form.
- Rest and Slice the Steak: Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Prepare Spicy Cream Sauce: In a clean bowl, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, and honey. Adjust the spiciness to taste.
- Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer jasmine rice, flank steak, cucumbers, carrots, and sprinkle with green onions. Drizzle the spicy cream sauce over the top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately.
Notes
Marinating the steak overnight enhances flavor. This dish is customizable with different vegetables.
