Marinate the Steak
  1. In a bowl, mix the vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Add the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Sriracha Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, honey, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. Slice the steak and sit it atop a bed of rice. Add your chopped veggies, drizzle with the spicy cream sauce, and top with green onions.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Grab a fork (or chopsticks if you’re feeling fancy) and dive into your creation!

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinate the steak overnight. You can customize with your favorite veggies or grains.
