Print Recipe

A quick and easy steak bowl featuring a savory miso-sesame dressing, fresh veggies, and a hearty grain base, perfect for celebrations or a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp water (to thin dressing as needed)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: sliced avocado or pickled ginger

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and water. Adjust water to reach a pourable but thick consistency.
  3. Cook brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Brown rice takes about 40-45 minutes; quinoa cooks in 15 minutes. Reheat leftovers gently if needed.
  4. Steam broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender but bright green. Drain and set aside.
  5. Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  6. In serving bowls, layer cooked rice or quinoa, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and green onions. Arrange sliced steak on top.
  7. Drizzle miso-sesame dressing generously over the bowls. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and add optional avocado or pickled ginger if desired.

Notes

Let the steak rest fully after cooking to lock in juices. Slice against the grain for tenderness. Adjust dressing thickness with water or rice vinegar. Use tamari for gluten-free. Freshly grate ginger and mince garlic for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing steak.
