A quick and easy recipe featuring tender marinated steak, fluffy rice, and fresh toppings, packed with bold Korean BBQ flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 lb flank steak or ribeye, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (or substitute with brown rice)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup kimchi (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl. Add the sliced steak, ensuring every piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and sear in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until caramelized and cooked through.
  4. While the steak cooks, slice the cucumbers, shred the carrots, and chop the green onions. Set aside.
  5. Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Top each bowl with steak, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, kimchi, green onions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with extra sesame oil if desired.

Notes

[‘Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tender bites.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve caramelization.’, ‘Marinate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.’, ‘Feel free to customize toppings or add a fried egg for extra richness.’]
