  • 30 ml soy sauce
  • 30 ml brown sugar
  • 15 ml sesame oil
  • 15 g minced garlic
  • 5 g grated ginger
Base
  • 200 g cooked white or brown rice
Vegetables
  • 200 g mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) cut into bite-sized pieces
Cooking
  • 30 ml vegetable oil
Spicy Cream Sauce
  • 120 g sour cream
  • 30 g gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 15 g honey
  • 5 ml lime juice
Garnish
  • 1 sesame seeds for sprinkling
  • 1 green onions thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the flank steak, ensuring it's thoroughly coated. Marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes for optimal flavor.
  2. Prepare rice according to package instructions until tender. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, gochujang, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well incorporated. Reserve for serving.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness.
  5. Using the same pan with residual heat and flavors, add chopped vegetables. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp, maintaining some texture.
  6. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  7. Portion rice into serving bowls. Arrange sliced steak and sautéed vegetables on top in an appealing presentation.
  8. Drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for color, texture and flavor.

Notes

For best results, bring steak to room temperature before cooking. The gochujang can be adjusted according to your heat preference.
