Ingredients
  

For the Steak and Rice
  • 1 lb steak (flank or sirloin) Flank and sirloin cuts work wonders but feel free to use your favorite cut!
  • 1/3 cup Korean BBQ sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice Jasmine or sushi rice pairs wonderfully.
For the Spicy Cream Sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste) Adjust to your spice preference.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
For Garnish
  • Green onions For garnish.
  • Sesame seeds For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine the steak with the Korean BBQ sauce and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
  2. Cook the rice: Follow the package instructions to prepare your rice.
  3. Make the spicy cream sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, gochujang, soy sauce, garlic powder, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Cooking
  1. Cook the steak: Grill or pan-sear the marinated steak on medium-high heat until it reaches your desired doneness, usually about 5-7 minutes for medium-rare. Slice it against the grain into strips.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the bowls: Start with a bed of rice in each bowl, top generously with steak strips, and drizzle with the spicy cream sauce.
  2. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the dish before serving.

Notes

To elevate your Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls, consider adding sautéed vegetables or experimenting with garnishes like thinly sliced radishes or even a fried egg. For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
