Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak into the marinade, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal it in a plastic bag or cover the bowl, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Rice: While the steak marinates, cook your jasmine rice according to the package instructions.
Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy and well-combined.
Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest for a few minutes and then slice it thinly against the grain.
Assemble the Bowls: Layer the cooked rice in each bowl. Top with the sliced steak, then arrange the shredded carrots, cucumber ribbons, and chopped green onions on top.
Drizzle with Sauce: Generously drizzle the spicy cream sauce over each bowl for that final touch.

Notes

Marinate overnight for a deeper flavor; customize toppings according to personal preference.
