Ingredients

Scale

For the steak:

  • 1 lb flank steak or ribeye (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For the bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or short-grain rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup kimchi
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

For the spicy cream sauce:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add sliced steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the spicy cream sauce: Stir together mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth; refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Cook the steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated steak in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and caramelized.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide rice among 4 bowls and top with steak, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, kimchi, green onions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with spicy cream sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Add a fried egg on top for a Korean-inspired bibimbap twist.
  • You can substitute the steak with chicken or tofu for different protein options.
