Why You’ll Love This

• Better than takeout and ready in 25 minutes
• That sesame-ginger sauce is completely addictive
• Highly customizable — use whatever vegetables you have
• High protein meal prep champion
• Works with any steak cut — sirloin, flank, ribeye

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs sirloin steak
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup edamame
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 green onions
• Sesame seeds
• Sauce: 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp grated ginger, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

1. Make sauce: Whisk all sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
2. Season steak with salt and pepper. Sear in hot cast iron 3–4 min per side for medium-rare. Rest 5 min, slice thin against the grain.
3. Assemble bowls: rice → vegetables → sliced steak → avocado.
4. Drizzle sauce generously over everything.
5. Top with green onions and sesame seeds.

Tip: A ripping hot cast iron skillet is the secret to a perfect sear. Don’t move the steak for the first 3 minutes — let it develop a crust before flipping.

What’s the best steak for this bowl?

Sirloin for value and flavor. Flank steak for chewier texture. Ribeye for maximum richness. Skirt steak if you want bold beefy flavor. All work great sliced thin against the grain.
