Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 1 lb flank steak (or your choice of steak)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Rice & Veggies:
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Optional: green onions, sesame seeds, or sriracha for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Add the steak to the marinade and let it sit for at least 10-15 minutes (or up to an hour if you have time).
- Cook the Rice: While the steak marinates, cook your rice according to the package instructions. Set aside.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add vegetable oil and sauté the bell pepper, zucchini, and onion until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, stirring to coat the veggies.
- Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, add a scoop of rice, then layer with the sautéed veggies. Top with the sliced steak. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the steak and rice for extra flavor.
- Garnish & Serve: Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of sriracha if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Different Protein: Swap the steak for chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein option.
- Vegetarian Version: Use extra veggies like mushrooms, broccoli, or snap peas, and skip the protein for a veggie-packed bowl.
- Spicy Version: Add more sriracha or a drizzle of chili paste for added heat.
- Fried Rice: Turn your rice into fried rice by adding a scrambled egg, peas, and carrots while sautéing the veggies.
