Make quick Korean BBQ steak rice bowls featuring tender marinated steak over fluffy rice, topped with a simple gochujang mayo drizzle. This recipe is great for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (optional)
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber (optional)
  • For the Spicy Cream Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Add the sliced steak and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  4. Divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls.
  5. Top the rice with the cooked Korean BBQ steak. Arrange shredded carrots and sliced cucumber around the steak, if using.
  6. Drizzle the Spicy Cream Sauce generously over the steak and rice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the steak, rice, vegetables, and sauce in separate containers. Assemble just before eating.
  • You can substitute the flank steak with thinly sliced sirloin or skirt steak.
  • If you prefer less heat, start with one tablespoon of gochujang in the sauce.
