A quick and easy homemade meal featuring perfectly seared steak with a spicy chili crisp topping, served over a nutrient-packed base of brown rice or quinoa and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 1 tbsp crispy fried shallots or garlic
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional garnishes: 1 soft-boiled egg, lime wedges, thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the thinly sliced steak and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
  2. Prepare brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Brown rice takes about 40-45 minutes; quinoa cooks in about 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  3. Steam broccoli florets until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. While steaming, shred carrots, slice cucumber thinly, and chop cilantro.
  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (about 3-4 minutes). Add marinated steak slices in a single layer without crowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but still juicy. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  5. Divide rice or quinoa between bowls. Arrange broccoli, carrots, cucumber, and cilantro on top. Lay seared steak slices over the veggies.
  6. Drizzle chili crisp oil over the bowl, sprinkle fried shallots or garlic, and toasted sesame seeds. If using, top with a soft-boiled egg and a squeeze of fresh lime.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing steak to get a good crust; cook in batches if needed. Rest steak after cooking to lock in juices. Adjust chili crisp amount to your heat tolerance. For low-carb, substitute cauliflower rice or spiralized zucchini noodles. Use tamari for gluten-free option. Leftovers keep well for 2-3 days if stored separately.
