Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
3 cups red cabbage, shredded (210 grams)
1 medium cucumber, shaved into ribbons (avoiding the seeds in the middle) (135 grams)
2 medium carrots, shaved into ribbons (77 grams)
6 oz kimchi (168 grams)
1 cup jasmine rice, cooked according to package directions (180 grams)
1/2 cup green onions, chopped (52 grams)
1/2 cup Duke's light mayonnaise with olive oil (120 grams)
1 tbsp O'Food Gochujang Korean Chili Sauce (18 grams)
1 tbsp vegetable oil (14 grams)
1 tsp sesame seeds

Marinade

1/2 pear, grated (86 grams)
3 tbsp light brown sugar (36 grams)
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (45 mL)
3 cloves garlic, grated (12 grams)
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger (6 grams)
1 tbsp O'Food Gochujang Korean Chili Sauce (18 grams)
1 tbsp sesame oil (15 mL)
1 tbsp rice vinegar (15 mL)

Instructions

Whisk all marinade ingredients together and pour over thinly sliced flank steak. Gently toss with your hands to evenly coat the steak. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Whisk light mayonnaise with 1 tbsp gochujang until well combined. Set aside in refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (7 of 10). Add half of the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, add marinated steak in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook on one side for about 2 minutes or until sugar has begun to caramelize and brown. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes on other side, or until cooked through. Wipe out pan and repeat process (you may need to do this a 3rd time depending on the size of your skillet).
Add rice, red cabbage, kimchi, carrots, and cucumber in a serving bowl or meal prep container. Add cooked bulgogi steak, then top with gochujang mayo, sesame seeds, and green onions before serving.
