Make these flavorful Korean BBQ steak rice bowls for a simple weeknight dinner. Tender marinated steak sits over rice and is topped with a creamy, spicy gochujang drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • For the Spicy Mayo:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • For Serving (Optional):
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds
  • Kimchi

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a bowl. Add the sliced steak, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the steak marinates, prepare the spicy mayo. Whisk together mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Add the steak to the hot skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked through.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls.
  7. Top the rice with the cooked Korean BBQ steak.
  8. Drizzle generously with the prepared spicy mayo.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or a side of kimchi, if desired.

Notes

  • For meal prep bowls, store the rice, steak, and spicy mayo separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the rice fluffy.
  • If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of gochujang in the spicy mayo.
  • You can substitute flank steak with thinly sliced ribeye for a richer flavor.
