Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or skirt steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or your favorite hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice (about 370g cooked)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts or cashews
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional garnish)
  • Lime wedges (optional garnish)
  • Sliced green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced steak and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  2. Cook 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm. Prepare the fresh veggies: shred lettuce, thinly slice red cabbage, and grate the carrot. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine honey, chopped roasted peanuts or cashews, chili flakes (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (about 3 minutes). Add a little oil if needed. Spread the marinated steak slices in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until a brown crust forms but steak remains juicy and slightly pink inside. Remove and let rest.
  5. Assemble the bowl by layering warm rice, shredded lettuce, red cabbage, and grated carrot. Top with seared steak slices and drizzle the honey crunch mixture generously over the top.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, sliced green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately while the honey crunch is warm and sticky.

Notes

Do not marinate steak longer than 4 hours to avoid mushy texture. Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Heat skillet well before searing and avoid overcrowding the pan. Warm honey crunch topping slightly if it thickens before serving.
