A quick and easy savory steak bowl featuring a perfectly seared flank or skirt steak glazed with a balanced chili honey sauce, served over fluffy rice with fresh veggies and garnishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak, trimmed and sliced thinly
  • 3 tbsp honey (raw honey preferred)
  • 1 tbsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, toasted
  • Lime wedges
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Oil for searing steak

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of jasmine or basmati rice under cold water until clear. Cook with 1.5 cups water according to package instructions (about 15 minutes). Fluff and keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, chili flakes, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside to meld flavors.
  3. While rice cooks, thinly slice cucumber, shred carrots, chop scallions and cilantro, and slice avocado just before serving.
  4. Trim excess fat from steak and slice thinly against the grain.
  5. Heat skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil if needed. Sear steak slices in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but juicy. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Lower heat to medium, pour chili honey glaze over steak, toss quickly to coat evenly, and cook 1-2 more minutes until glaze thickens. Add splash of water if glaze is too thick.
  7. Assemble bowl starting with warm rice, then glazed steak, shredded carrots, cucumber, scallions, cilantro, and avocado. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges.
  8. Add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste before eating.

Notes

Slice steak against the grain for tenderness. Let pan get very hot before searing. Cook steak in batches to avoid overcrowding. Adjust chili flakes to preferred spice level. Let glaze simmer gently to thicken and cling to steak. Rest steak a couple minutes after cooking to lock in juices. Toasted sesame seeds add nuttiness and texture. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. For vegan version, replace steak with grilled portobello mushrooms and use same glaze.
