30-Minute Steak Rice Bowl

Ingredients:

• For the Steak:
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced (against the grain)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• For the Stir-Fry:
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• For the Spicy Mayo:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust for desired spice level)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
• For the Bowl:
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Step 1

Marinate the Steak: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Add the sliced steak and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the onion, bell pepper, and broccoli florets.

Step 3

Make the Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the Oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Cook the Steak: Add the marinated steak to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Sauté the Vegetables: Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan (if needed). Add the sliced onion and cook for 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the bell pepper and broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

Step 7

Create the Sauce: Push the vegetables to the side of the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together water or chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger. Stir the sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the stir-fried vegetables, sliced steak, and drizzle with the sauce.

Step 9

Finish and Serve: Dollop the spicy mayo on the side of each steak rice  bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions (optional).

Tips:

• Serve the steak sliced thin for easier eating in the steak rice bowl.
• Adjust the amount of sriracha in the mayo based on your desired spice level.
• For a vegetarian option, replace the steak with tofu or tempeh, cubed and marinated in the same way as the steak for a delicious vegetarian steak rice bowl.
• Feel free to add other vegetables to the stir-fry, such as snow peas or carrots.
