Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or sugar snap peas, blanched
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2–3 tbsp warm water
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed, for marinade)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (for marinade)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for marinade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak marinade by whisking together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, minced garlic, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Toss the thinly sliced steak in the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes). Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  3. Blanch snap peas in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Transfer to ice water to stop cooking, then drain.
  4. Prepare the peanut-ginger sauce by combining peanut butter, soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl. Whisk in warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth and pourable. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of high smoke point oil. Sear marinated steak slices in a single layer for about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare, working in batches if needed.
  6. Assemble bowls by dividing cooked rice among serving bowls. Arrange seared steak slices over rice, then add shredded carrots, cucumber slices, blanched snap peas, green onions, and cilantro.
  7. Drizzle peanut-ginger sauce generously over each bowl. Serve extra sauce on the side if desired.
  8. Optionally toss gently before serving or enjoy layered as is. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Partially freeze steak for 20 minutes before slicing for easier thin cuts. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing steak to ensure a good crust. Warm peanut butter slightly if sauce is hard to whisk. Adjust sauce seasoning with extra lime or honey to taste. Store sauce separately from bowls to prevent sogginess.
