Marination

Cooking

Making the Sauce
- In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, honey, and salt. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
Assembly
- In individual serving bowls, divide the cooked rice. Top each bowl with sliced steak, shredded carrots, cucumbers, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
- Drizzle the spicy cream sauce generously over the bowls.
Serving
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
