How to Make the Recipe

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the steak cubes, toss to coat, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
2. Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for 3-4 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
3. Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Assemble the Bowls: Add a scoop of cooked rice to each bowl. Top with steak cubes and drizzle with the spicy cream sauce. Enjoy!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls turn out perfectly:

• For a more intense flavor, let the steak marinate longer.
• Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or broccoli, for added nutrition.
• If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of sriracha in the spicy cream sauce.
• Pair this dish with a refreshing Cucumber Tomato Salad for a complete meal.
