Instructions

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add steak cubes, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak cubes for 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized and tender. Let rest for 3–5 minutes.
Make the Spicy Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust spice level to taste.
Assemble the Bowls: Spoon rice into serving bowls, top with warm steak, and drizzle generously with spicy cream sauce.
Garnish: Add sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a light drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.

Notes

Letting the steak rest keeps it juicy.

Substitute chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein.

No gochujang? Mix chili garlic sauce with ketchup for a quick alternative.

The spicy cream sauce also doubles as a dip for fries or veggies.

For meal prep, store sauce separately and add just before serving.
