Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 pound Flank Steak (or sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (adjust as needed)
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (honey can be a substitute)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated) (or ground ginger)
  • to taste Black Pepper

For Assembly:

  • 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)

For Spicy Cream Sauce:

  • 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)
  • to taste Salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Add the flank steak, fully coat it, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for greater flavor enhancement.
  2. Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, honey, and salt. Adjust the sriracha to match your preferred spice level for the perfect kick.
  3. Grill the Steak: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side, aiming for your desired doneness (about 130°F for medium-rare). Let it rest before slicing against the grain.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Start with jasmine rice as the base, top with sliced steak, green onions, shredded carrots, and cucumber. Drizzle the spicy cream sauce over the bowls and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Adjust the spice level of the sauce to suit your taste preferences.
  • You can customize the toppings based on your favorite vegetables.
