Description
Korean BBQ Steak Bowls are a celebration of bold, authentic flavors that transport you straight to the vibrant streets of Seoul. By marinating the flank steak in a savory-sweet Korean-inspired marinade and pairing it with a variety of fresh, crunchy vegetables and fluffy rice, you’ve created a dish that is not only visually stunning but also utterly delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cup cooked rice
- 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
1. To begin, marinate the flank steak by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a bowl. Add the flank steak to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
3. Assemble the Korean BBQ Steak Bowls by dividing the cooked rice into individual serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced steak, kimchi, cucumber, carrots, avocado, and green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
The beauty of Korean BBQ Steak Bowls lies in the harmonious balance of flavors. Marinating the steak is crucial for tenderizing the meat and infusing it with bold Korean flavors. Searing the steak over high heat achieves a delicious caramelized crust.
