Instructions

Marinate Steak: Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add sliced steak and marinate for 15 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
Make Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey until completely smooth. Taste and adjust spice level if needed – this sauce should have a nice kick.
Prep Vegetables: Julienne the carrot, slice cucumber thin, and chop green onions. Arrange baby spinach in serving bowls as your base – the warm rice will wilt it perfectly.
Cook Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated steak for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
Warm Rice: Heat your cooked jasmine rice in the microwave or stovetop until steaming hot. Warm rice is crucial for the best Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls experience.
Assemble Bowls: Layer warm rice over spinach, top with cooked steak, fresh vegetables, and a generous drizzle of spicy cream sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Notes

Slice steak against the grain for tender results; tough meat results from cutting with the grain.
Store spicy cream sauce separately to prevent vegetables from getting soggy in the refrigerator.
Marinate steak for at least 15 minutes but no more than 2 hours for best texture.
Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet for enhanced nutty flavor and better crunch.
Warm rice is essential for properly wilting the spinach and creating the best eating experience.
