Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup kimchi
- 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Marinate the Steak: Place flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over steak, ensuring it’s coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Cook the Rice: Rinse rice and cook according to package instructions. Keep warm.
- Grill the Steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, discard marinade. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
- Rest and Slice the Steak: Remove steak from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the Bowls: Place rice in bowls. Top with sliced steak, kimchi, cucumber, carrots, and avocado. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Marinating the steak for 2-4 hours yields the best flavor. Even 30 minutes provides good results.
- Customize with other vegetables like bell peppers, radishes, or cabbage.
- Brown rice offers a nuttier flavor, but white rice or quinoa are also great options.
- For extra spice, increase red pepper flakes or add sriracha.
- A grill or cast-iron skillet works well for cooking the steak.
