Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb flank or sirloin steak
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white jasmine or short-grain rice

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Cook the Steak: Place the steak in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Remove from pan and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  3. Make the Gochujang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, heavy cream, sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  4. Prepare the Vegetables: While steak is resting, prepare shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and sliced green onions. Toast sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan if desired.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Place a serving of cooked rice in each bowl. Arrange sliced steak on top, drizzle with gochujang cream sauce, and garnish with vegetables and toasted sesame seeds.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while steak is warm and sauce is fresh, providing a flavorful and balanced Korean-inspired meal.

Notes

  • Use short-grain or jasmine rice for authentic texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less gochujang.
  • Let steak rest to retain juices and tenderness.
  • Optional vegetables such as cucumbers or radishes can be added for extra crunch.
  • This dish can be prepared with other cuts of beef or even chicken as an alternative.
