Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Steak: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger until combined. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear, then cook. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing.
  3. Cook the Steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the marinated steak, searing for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice. Stir until smooth, adjusting Sriracha to taste.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a portion of rice in each bowl, add sliced steak, drizzle spicy cream sauce, and garnish with green onions.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve warm and enjoy the explosion of flavors.

Notes

For best results, allow the steak to marinate longer for deeper flavor infusion. Store components separately to maintain freshness.
