Instructions

1. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and set it aside.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, gochujang, and cornstarch until smooth.

3. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

4. Add the steak in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring as needed, until browned.

5. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens and coats the steak.

6. Divide the warm rice among 4 bowls.

7. Top each bowl with the Korean BBQ steak, cucumber, shredded carrots, green onions, and sesame seeds.

8. Add kimchi, avocado, or a fried egg if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

Thinly slicing the steak against the grain helps keep it tender and easy to eat.

Have all your toppings ready before cooking the steak because the sauce thickens quickly once it hits the pan.

For meal prep, store the steak, rice, and fresh toppings separately so the vegetables stay crisp.
