Ingredients
  

For the Steak and Marinade
  • 1 pound Flank Steak (you can also use sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (adjust as needed)
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (honey can be a substitute)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated, or ground ginger)
  • Black Pepper, to taste
For the Bowl Assembly
  • 2 cups Cooked Jasmine Rice (or quinoa or cauliflower rice)
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (chopped)
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots (or bell peppers or snap peas)
  • 1 cup Cucumber (sliced)
For the Spicy Cream Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey (or agave syrup for vegan)
  • Salt, to taste

Method
 

Marinating the Steak
  1. In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add the flank steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preparing the Spicy Cream Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust the spice level to your taste.
Cooking the Steak
  1. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Assembling the Bowls
  1. Start with a base of jasmine rice or your preferred grain. Layer on the sliced steak, then top with shredded carrots, cucumbers, and chopped green onions. Drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors in each bite!
