Thai Steak Bowl

Ingredients

• 0.75 lb Chuck steak (Sliced)
• 0.5 tbsp Soy sauce (For the marinade)
• 0.5 tbsp Oyster sauce (For the marinade)
• 0.5 tbsp Fish sauce (For the marinade)
• 0.5 tbsp Oil (For the marinade)
• 0.5 tbsp Brown sugar (For the marinade)
• 0.5 tbsp Fish sauce (For the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Lime juice (For the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Honey (For the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Cilantro (Chopped; for the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Red onion (Sliced; for the sauce)
• 0.5 tbsp Oil (For the sauce)
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (For the sauce)
• Cooked rice (Amount not specified; serve as the base of the bowls)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the sliced chuck steak in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, oil, and brown sugar. Toss thoroughly so the marinade coats every piece, then cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes.

2. 2

   While the steak marinates, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, honey, chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the honey is incorporated and the sauce is evenly mixed.

3. 3

   Heat a heavy skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the marinated steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary so the pieces sear rather than steam.

4. 4

   Sear the steak for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and medium-rare inside. Because chuck steak thickness can vary, use visual doneness and, if checking with a thermometer, remove it around 130–135°F (54–57°C) for medium-rare.

5. 5

   Transfer the cooked steak to a plate and let it rest for several minutes so the juices redistribute. Slice it as needed for serving.

6. 6

   Divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Arrange the rested sliced steak over the rice.

7. 7

   Drizzle the prepared sauce over the steak and rice. Serve immediately while the steak is warm.

Notes

The source specifies medium-rare steak and at least 20 minutes of marinating time but does not specify the amount of cooked rice. For food safety, whole cuts of beef may be served medium-rare when properly handled; use your preferred doneness, especially for thinner or mechanically tenderized steak.
