Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade and Steak
- 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
For the Rice Bowl
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
For the Spicy Cream Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade and Marinate Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Mix well to create the marinade. Add the flank steak to the bowl and coat it thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Rice: Prepare the white rice according to package instructions, ensuring it is fluffy and fully cooked. Set aside and keep warm until ready to assemble the bowls.
- Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes to retain juices, then slice it thinly against the grain.
- Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, and honey until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
- Assemble the Rice Bowls: Divide the cooked white rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with sliced grilled steak and a generous drizzle of the spicy cream sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Marinate the steak longer, up to 2 hours, for deeper flavor.
- Use jasmine or sushi rice for more authentic texture.
- Adjust sriracha in the sauce to control heat level.
- Resting the steak after grilling helps keep it tender and juicy.
- Serve with steamed or pickled vegetables for a complete meal.
