From the Test Kitchen

This hearty steak dish gets a few unique twists from a mix of Japanese and Korean cuisine staples: we're coating the steak with savory soy sauce before searing, then serving it alongside ponzu-dressed bok choy and crispy potato cakes—packed with scallions, melty cheese, and togarashi, then drizzled with a spicy gochujang mayo.
