Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls with Spicy Cream Sauce

If you’re craving a dinner that’s bold, comforting, and ready in under 30 minutes, these Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls with Spicy Cream Sauce are exactly what you need. Tender, juicy steak is marinated in a savory-sweet blend, grilled (or pan-seared) to perfection, then served over fluffy rice with a creamy, spicy drizzle that ties it all together. Every bite is a balance of umami, heat, and richness that feels restaurant-worthy—but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.


Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Big Flavor: Sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy in every bite.

  • Versatile: Works with steak, chicken, shrimp, or even tofu.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Make ahead and enjoy all week long.

Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 1 lb flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

For the Rice

  • 3–4 cups cooked rice (jasmine or white rice works best)

For the Spicy Cream Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1–2 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • Pinch of salt & black pepper

Garnishes (optional but recommended)

  • Sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Kimchi or quick-pickled veggies

Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak

Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar (or honey), sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add steak slices and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 20–30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

2. Cook the Rice

While the steak marinates, cook rice according to package directions. Fluff and keep warm.

3. Cook the Steak

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak slices for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remove and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

4. Make the Spicy Cream Sauce

In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust spice level to taste.

5. Assemble the Bowls

Scoop rice into bowls, top with sliced steak, and drizzle generously with spicy cream sauce. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or kimchi if desired.


Tips & Variations

  • Vegetarian Option: Swap steak for tofu or tempeh—marinate and cook the same way.
  • Extra Veggies: Add sautéed spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
  • Meal Prep: Store rice, steak, and sauce separately in containers. Reheat and assemble just before eating.
  • Grilling Option: For smoky flavor, grill the steak outdoors over medium-high heat.

Serving Ideas

These bowls are delicious on their own but pair perfectly with:

  • Pickled Cucumbers or Radishes for freshness
  • Steamed Broccoli or Bok Choy for crunch
  • Kimchi for authentic Korean flair
