Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (warm)
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup steamed edamame (shelled)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together miso paste, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to prepare the steak marinade.
  2. Add the thinly sliced steak strips to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes, preferably 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
  3. Cook jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff and keep warm.
  4. Shred purple cabbage and carrots finely. Steam edamame until tender (about 5 minutes), then drain. Slice avocado just before assembly. Chop scallions and toast sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan until fragrant.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated steak strips in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and caramelized. Avoid overcrowding. Remove from heat.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup, and chili flakes (if using) to make the dressing.
  7. In a large serving bowl, layer warm rice, shredded cabbage, carrots, steamed edamame, sliced avocado, cooked steak strips, and scallions. Drizzle dressing over the bowl and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Serve immediately or gently toss before serving. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated.

Notes

Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Marinate steak for at least 10 minutes, ideally 30 minutes. Toast sesame seeds lightly for best flavor. Slice avocado last to avoid browning. Keep dressing separate if storing leftovers to prevent sogginess.
