Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 cup white or brown rice cooked
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables bell peppers, broccoli, carrots
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or cast iron pan
  • mixing bowls
  • sharp knife
  • Rice cooker or saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add flank steak, ensuring it's well coated, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare rice according to package instructions and set aside once cooked.
  3. Make the spicy cream sauce by combining sour cream, gochujang, honey, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  4. Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade (discard excess) and cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
  6. In the same pan, add chopped vegetables and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Remove steak from pan and let rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  8. In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of rice. Top with sliced steak and sautéed vegetables.
  9. Drizzle generously with spicy cream sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

Marinate steak for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Always slice against the grain for maximum tenderness. Adjust gochujang amount to taste preference.
