Ingredients
  

Beef Marinade
  • 1 pound beef, thinly sliced (flank steak or sirloin works best)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
Bowl Ingredients
  • 1 cup steamed rice (white or brown)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers or carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha adjust to spice preference
  • optional sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

Marinate the Beef
  1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl. Mix well and add the thinly sliced beef, ensuring it’s well-coated. Allow it to marinate while you prepare your rice and vegetables.
Cook the Rice and Beef
  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and cooked through.
Add Vegetables
  1. Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they're tender-crisp.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with sriracha. Adjust to taste.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. Start with a base of steamed rice, followed by the beef and vegetable mixture. Drizzle the creamy spicy sauce over the top and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
