Korean Style Grain Bowls With Spicy Marinated Steak Recipes

KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI

Steps:

• Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, combine pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and gochujang. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.* Working in batches, add steak to the grill pan in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and steak. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

KOREAN STEAK BOWLS

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to package instructions.
• Whisk together the Greek yogurt and gochujang until combined. If you would like to turn the sauce into more of a drizzly dressing, whisk in a few extra tablespoons of water until the mix reaches your desired consistency. (And if it tastes a bit too spicy for your liking, stir in some extra Greek yogurt.)
• Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined.
• Season the steak evenly with a generous pinch of salt and a few twists of freshly-cracked black pepper. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat until it is shimmering. (You want the pan to be very hot!) Quickly add the steak bites to the pan in an even layer. (If your pan is too small for the steak bites to fit in a single layer, I recommend cooking it in two batches.) Cook the steak for 2 minutes without stirring. Then flip and cook for 2-ish more minutes, or until the steak is seared on both sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Transfer steak to a clean bowl and toss with the soy sauce.
• In your serving bowls, layer a portion of rice, slaw, and steak bites. Then drizzle generously with the spicy sauce, plus an optional extra sprinkle of chopped cilantro for garnish. Enjoy!
