5 from 146 reviews

Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls combine tender, flavorful steak with perfectly cooked rice, topped with a savory Korean BBQ sauce and a spicy cream sauce for an irresistible, quick, and hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb steak (such as ribeye or sirloin), thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably short grain or jasmine)

Sauces

  • 1/2 cup Korean BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, gochujang, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
  2. Cook the Steak: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the steak slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they reach desired doneness. Remove from heat.
  3. Warm the Rice: If the rice is not freshly cooked, reheat it thoroughly in a microwave or on the stovetop.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the warm rice into serving bowls. Top each bowl with cooked steak slices. Drizzle Korean BBQ sauce generously over the steak, then add the spicy cream sauce on top or on the side as preferred.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the bowls hot as a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced steak for faster cooking and better absorption of sauces.
  • You can substitute white rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier variation.
  • Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of gochujang in the spicy cream sauce.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added texture and flavor.
  • Leftover steak and rice make great meal prep options; store sauce separately to keep fresh.
