  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 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)
  • 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 flank steak by combining vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the steak and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing thinly.
  3. Prepare the spicy cream sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, honey, and salt in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. Assemble the rice bowls with a base of cooked jasmine rice topped with sliced steak, green onions, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices. Drizzle with the spicy cream sauce before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute jasmine rice with cauliflower rice or quinoa. Can be made vegan by using grilled tofu instead of steak.
