Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Marinade
- 1 lb flank steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
Rice and Toppings
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Spicy Cream Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade and Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Place the flank steak in the mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Cook the Rice: While the steak is marinating, cook the white rice according to the package instructions until fluffy and warm.
- Grill the Steak: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, and honey until smooth and combined to create a spicy, tangy sauce.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with sliced grilled steak and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Drizzle the spicy cream sauce over the top and finish by sprinkling sesame seeds for added texture and nuttiness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan or skillet can be used to cook the steak.
- Use brown rice or cauliflower rice as a healthier alternative to white rice.
- The spicy cream sauce can be adjusted to your preferred heat level by adding more or less sriracha.
- Letting the steak rest after grilling helps keep it juicy and tender.
