Ingredients
  

For the Rice and Marinade

  • 2 cups cooked rice Short-grain or jasmine rice recommended
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), sliced Choose halal-certified if necessary
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste) Reduce amount for less heat
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

For the Vegetables and Toppings

  • 1 cup vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, or carrots), stir-fried Choose according to preference
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak

  • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sugar.
  • Toss the sliced steak in this mixture so each piece is nicely coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • For deeper flavor, marinate up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Cook the Steak

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of neutral oil if needed.
  • Add the marinated steak in a single layer and sauté for 2–4 minutes per side until cooked to your liking.
  • For more char, consider using a grill pan or outdoor grill.

Stir-fry the Vegetables

  • In another pan, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add your choice of vegetables and stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 4–6 minutes.
  • Season with salt and a light splash of soy sauce for added umami.

Prepare the Cream Sauce

  • Combine heavy cream and sriracha in a small pot over low heat.
  • Warm gently and whisk until slightly thickened, about 2–3 minutes. Do not boil.

Assemble the Bowls

  • Place cooked rice in bowls, top with sautéed steak and stir-fried vegetables.
  • Drizzle with the spicy cream sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Warm bowls before serving for the best experience. Consider adding pickled cucumber or kimchi for extra brightness.
