These Korean Steak Bowls feature tender seared steak bites, crisp sesame slaw, fluffy rice, and a creamy gochujang sauce for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or any high-heat oil)
  • 1–2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced into half moons
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2/3 cup thinly-sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • Optional: 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayo)
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 1 1/2 cups white or brown rice

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  2. Whisk together the Greek yogurt and gochujang until smooth. For a thinner sauce, whisk in a few tablespoons of water until the desired consistency is reached.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together the coleslaw, cucumber, cilantro, green onions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and optional sesame seeds until evenly combined.
  4. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat the avocado oil in a large sauté pan over high heat until shimmering. Add the steak in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes without stirring. Flip and cook for about 2 more minutes, or until seared and cooked to your preferred doneness. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  5. Divide the rice among serving bowls. Top with slaw and steak bites, then drizzle generously with the gochujang sauce. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Use brown rice for extra fiber and a nuttier flavor.
  • Mayonnaise can be substituted for Greek yogurt in the sauce.
  • Cook the steak in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang or yogurt to control the spice level.
