Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 500 g flank steak or preferred beef cut
Marinade
  • 30 ml soy sauce
  • 30 ml brown sugar
  • 15 ml sesame oil
  • 15 g minced garlic
  • 5 g grated ginger
Base
  • 200 g cooked white or brown rice
Vegetables
  • 200 g mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) cut into bite-sized pieces
Cooking
  • 30 ml vegetable oil
Spicy Cream Sauce
  • 120 g sour cream
  • 30 g gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 15 g honey
  • 5 ml lime juice
Garnish
  • 1 sesame seeds for sprinkling
  • 1 green onions thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the flank steak, ensuring it's thoroughly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare rice according to package instructions until tender. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, gochujang, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness.
  5. Using the same pan, add chopped vegetables. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  7. Portion rice into serving bowls. Arrange sliced steak and sautéed vegetables on top.
  8. Drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For best results, bring steak to room temperature before cooking. Adjust the amount of gochujang according to your heat preference.
