Ingredients

Scale

Korean BBQ Beef:

  • 1 lb flank steak (or skirt steak), thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp gochujang (Korean chili paste) (optional for spice)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Charred Corn:

  • 2 ears of corn, husked
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Assembling the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or brown rice)
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and gochujang (if using). Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  2. Prepare the Charred Corn: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the corn for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it’s charred on all sides. Once cooked, slice the kernels off the cob and set aside.
  3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  4. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelized.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of gochujang in the marinade.
  • You can customize the bowl with additional toppings like kimchi, pickled vegetables, or a fried egg.
