Ingredients
  

Steak Marinade

  • 1 lb beef steak (flank, skirt, or New York strip), cut into bite-size cubes Choose your preferred cut of steak.
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce Low-sodium works if you’re watching salt.
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste) Essential for the marinade's flavor.
  • 1 tbsp honey Balances the heat and deepens caramelization.
  • 1 tsp sesame oil Add at the end of marinade for aroma.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Convenient for pantry cooks.
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp salt Plus extra if needed to adjust.
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Spicy Cream Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream Can be replaced with Greek yogurt.
  • 1 tbsp sriracha Adjust heat to taste.
  • ¼ tsp salt For the sauce.
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper For the sauce.

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine) Jasmine preferred for aroma and texture.
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola or vegetable) For cooking the steak.

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak

  • Mix the marinade in a bowl: soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the cubed steak and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).

Prep Your Rice and Sauce

  • Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper to make the spicy cream sauce.
  • Heat cooked rice gently in the microwave if it’s cold, adding a teaspoon of water if needed.

Cook the Steak

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add neutral oil.
  • Add the marinated steak cubes in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for five minutes.

Assemble the Bowls

  • Layer warm rice in each serving bowl.
  • Spoon the cooked steak cubes over the rice and drizzle with spicy cream sauce.
  • Top optionally with sesame seeds or scallions.

Notes

Store leftover components separately. This dish can also be made vegetarian with tofu or king oyster mushrooms. Don’t skip the marination step to ensure flavor.
