Instructions

Marinate the Beef:

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Add the sliced beef, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

2. Cook the Beef:

  1. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Set aside.

3. Cook the Corn:

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add corn, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred. Remove from heat.

4. Make the Creamy Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

5. Assemble the Bowls:

  1. Divide cooked rice into serving bowls.
  2. Top with grilled beef and sautéed corn.
  3. Drizzle with the creamy sauce.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
  • To make it lighter, swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt in the sauce.
  • Make it kid-friendly by reducing the spice and serving the sauce on the side.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
