Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak:

    - In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds.

      - Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2-3 hours for maximum flavor.

        Prepare the Spicy Cream Sauce:

          - In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, gochujang, lime juice, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

            Cook the Steak:

              - Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.

                - Place the steak on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness.

                  - Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

                    Assemble the Rice Bowls:

                      - Divide the cooked rice among four bowls.

                        - Top each bowl with sliced steak, mixed vegetables, and a generous drizzle of spicy cream sauce.

                          - Add a side of kimchi and garnish with chopped green onions.

                            Serve:

                              - Enjoy your Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls immediately while warm, drizzling more sauce over the top if desired!
