Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef steak such as flank, skirt, or New York strip, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the rice
  • 1 cup cooked rice such as white, brown, or jasmine
  • For the creamy spicy sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Marinate the steak.
  2. Stir together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the steak cubes and toss until evenly coated. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Cook the rice.
  4. While the steak marinates, prepare your rice according to package directions and keep it warm for serving.
  5. Make the sauce.
  6. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and add more sriracha if you want extra heat.
  7. Cook the steak.
  8. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes after cooking.
  9. Assemble the bowls.
  10. Divide the rice between bowls, top with the steak, and spoon or drizzle the spicy cream sauce over everything. Add green onions or any extra toppings you like.

Notes

A longer marinating time gives the steak more flavor. The page recommends at least 30 minutes and says up to 2 hours works even better if you have the time.
Slicing or cubing the steak into even pieces helps it cook more consistently. The source specifically uses 1-inch cubes in the recipe card, which makes the bowl easy to assemble and serve.
If you prefer a less spicy sauce, reduce the sriracha or swap it for a milder chili sauce. The page’s FAQ also suggests using less sriracha to soften the heat.
For gluten-free bowls, use tamari or another gluten-free soy sauce in place of regular soy sauce. The page includes this adjustment in the FAQ section.
For meal prep, store the rice, steak, and sauce separately. The page says the components keep well in airtight containers for up to 3 days and recommends reheating the rice and steak separately from the sauce.
