How to Make Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef steak (such as flank or ribeye)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped green onions for garnish

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, and brown sugar to create a marinade. Marinade the steak for at least 30 minutes.
2. Grill or pan-sear the steak over medium-high heat to desired doneness. Let it rest, then slice thinly.
3. In a separate pot, heat heavy cream and stir in garlic powder, seasoning with salt and pepper.
4. In serving bowls, layer cooked rice, mixed vegetables, and sliced steak. Drizzle with spicy cream sauce and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

How to Serve Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls

Serve the bowls warm, allowing everyone to see the colorful ingredients. You can offer extra toppings such as sesame seeds or more gochujang for those who like it spicy. These bowls make a great main dish for lunch or dinner.

How to Store Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls

Store any leftovers in airtight containers. Keep the steak and sauce separate from the rice and vegetables to maintain freshness. You can refrigerate them for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove before serving again.

Tips to Make Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls

• For a more intense flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
• Use fresh vegetables that you enjoy or have on hand. You can also add frozen vegetables if that’s more convenient.
• Cook the steak to your desired doneness, but medium-rare to medium is usually best for tenderness and flavor.

Variation

Feel free to swap the beef for chicken or tofu, or even make it a vegetarian bowl by using only vegetables and the creamy sauce. You can also adjust the spiciness by adding more or less gochujang.

FAQs

1. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the marinade and even cook the steak ahead of time. Just store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the bowls.

2. What if I can’t find gochujang?
If you can’t find gochujang, you can use sriracha or another chili paste, though the flavor will be slightly different.

3. Can I use different types of rice?
Absolutely! You can use any rice you like, such as jasmine rice, brown rice, or even quinoa for a healthier option.
