Cooking

Spicy Cream Sauce
  • 120 g sour cream
  • 30 g gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 15 g honey
  • 5 ml lime juice

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a mixing bowl. Add the flank steak and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, gochujang, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, let excess drip off. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
  5. Add chopped vegetables to the same skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  7. Portion rice into serving bowls. Arrange sliced steak and sautéed vegetables on top.
  8. Drizzle generously with the spicy cream sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For best results, bring steak to room temperature before cooking. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred heat level.
