Categories     Beef

Time 58m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound beef sirloin (or flank steak), cut into 2-inch strips
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1/3 cup carrots, shredded
1/4 cup chives, chopped
1/3 cup bean sprouts
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or black vinegar)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 medium potato, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
2 cups steamed rice
1/3 cup kimchi
1 tablespoons fresh green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup cucumber, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Place sliced beef into a zip-loc bag. Add soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, black pepper, and cornstarch. (The cornstarch makes the beef more tender). Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the beef to coat.
  • Place in the fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Bring a pot of hot water to a boil. Turn off the heat, and add the broccoli, carrots, chives, and bean sprouts. Blanch cook for one minute. Drain the vegetables in a colander and run under cold water to cool down. Drain excessive water from the vegetables and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and sesame oil. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add vegetables in the bowl and let them sit for 10- 15 minutes to absorb the sauce.
  • Prepare the potatoes only if stir-frying the beef.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 6-7 minutes. Do not overcook potatoes because you do not want them to be mashed or too soft since they will be added to the stir fry together with the beef steak strips. Drain in a colander and set side for stir-fry.
  • You can either stir fry the beef and potatoes together or cook them in the air fryer.
  • Add the marinated beef and pre-cooked potatoes into a large skillet and cook over medium high heat until the beef turns brown, about 7 minutes. Stir well to cook evenly. Then, turn heat down to low, cover and let it simmer for 1 minute to allow the flavours to infuse into the potatoes.
  • Cook the beef and uncooked potatoes together in the air fryer at 350 F for 13 minutes. Shake the air fryer basket halfway through.
  • Transfer the beef and potatoes to a plate.
  • In each bowl, add a cup of steamed rice. Top the rice with 1/2 cup stir-fried beef and potatoes mixture, prepared vegetable sides and kimchi. Garnish with green onions and white sesame seeds.

KOREAN STEAK BOWLS



Korean Steak Bowls image

These Korean Steak Bowls are made with juicy seared steak bites, a quick sesame cucumber slaw, your choice of rice or quinoa, and the best 2-ingredient spicy dressing!

Provided by Ali

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon avocado oil (or any high-heat oil)
1-2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw
1 English cucumber, sliced into half moons
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 cup thinly-sliced green onions
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
optional: 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayo)
2 tablespoons gochujang paste
1 1/2 cups white or brown rice

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!

GRILLED, KOREAN-STYLE STEAKS WITH SPICY CILANTRO SAUCE



Grilled, Korean-Style Steaks with Spicy Cilantro Sauce image

Categories     Beef     Hot Pepper     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Cilantro     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup medium-dry Sherry
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
6 (1-inch-thick) boneless beef top loin (strip) steaks, about 3/4 lb each
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (including roots and stems)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon minced seeded fresh habanero or serrano chile (optional)
1 (4-inch-long) fresh hot red chile, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir together 3/4 cup soy sauce, Sherry, sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking dish until sugar is dissolved, then add steaks, turning to coat. Marinate steaks, turning once, 1 hour.
  • Prepare grill for cooking.
  • Stir together cilantro, vegetable oil, lime juice, remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and chile if using.
  • When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack 3 to 4 seconds), grill steaks on a lightly oiled rack 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let steaks stand on a cutting board 5 minutes, then top with some sauce and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Serve remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your grain bowls will be. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality meat and fish.
  • Don't overcook the steak: The steak should be cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that it is still tender and juicy. If you overcook it, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Make sure the rice is cooked properly: The rice should be cooked according to the package instructions. If it is too mushy or too dry, it will ruin the grain bowls.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make the grain bowls special. Use a variety of colors, textures, and flavors to create a bowl that is both visually appealing and delicious.

Conclusion:

Korean-style grain bowls are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a grain bowl that is both nutritious and satisfying.
