Ingredients
Scale
Beef Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced beef ribeye or flank steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Rice and Corn
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or grilled)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Creamy Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Garnish
- Sesame seeds
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add the sliced beef and toss well to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
- Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove beef from marinade and cook in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Set aside.
- Sauté the corn: In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add corn kernels and sauté until warmed through and slightly golden, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
- Make the creamy sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked jasmine rice into bowls. Top each with Korean BBQ beef, sautéed corn, and a generous drizzle of the creamy sauce.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over each bowl before serving to add crunch and freshness.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add shredded cabbage, cucumber slices, or pickled radishes.
- You can substitute chicken or tofu for the beef to suit dietary preferences.
- Double the creamy sauce recipe for dipping or drizzling over vegetables.
- Marinating the beef overnight enhances the depth of flavor.
- Use vegan mayonnaise to make the dish dairy-free and suitable for vegan diets.
