Main Steps
  1. Marinate the steak by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Coat the steak and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually by boiling water, adding rice, and simmering for about 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until medium-rare.
  4. Make the spicy cream sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
  5. Assemble the bowls with a scoop of rice, sliced steak, and drizzle the spicy cream sauce, finishing with chopped green onions.
  6. Serve warm with sides like kimchi or salad for a complete meal.
