# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Marinade

01 - 450 g flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
02 - 60 ml soy sauce
03 - 30 g brown sugar
04 - 15 ml sesame oil
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 tsp grated ginger
07 - 15 ml rice vinegar
08 - 1 tsp gochujang (optional)

→ Rice Bowl Toppings

09 - 320 g cooked white or brown rice
10 - 110 g carrots, shredded
11 - 120 g cucumber, thinly sliced
12 - 60 g kimchi (optional)
13 - 2 green onions, sliced
14 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

→ Spicy Cream Sauce

15 - 60 ml mayonnaise
16 - 15 ml sriracha
17 - 1 tsp lime juice
18 - 1 tsp honey

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and gochujang in a bowl. Add sliced steak and ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Set aside until serving.
03 - Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, sear steak slices for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and thoroughly cooked. Transfer to a plate and let rest briefly.
04 - Divide cooked rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top with sliced steak, shredded carrots, cucumber, kimchi, and green onions.
05 - Drizzle prepared spicy cream sauce over the ingredients. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using, and serve immediately.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Slice steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
02 - Marinate steak for no less than 30 minutes; longer marination develops deeper flavors.
03 - Toast sesame seeds before use for enhanced aroma and crunch.
04 - Use premium soy sauce to achieve balanced seasoning.
