step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater; place in a bowl. Add the sesame oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. In a separate, large bowl, combine the black bean-chile sauce, honey (kneading the packet before opening), and as much of the gochujang as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

2 Cook the steaks

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on all sides. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this.
Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

3 Cook the rice

Meanwhile, in a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 3/4 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 15 to 17 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

4 Cook the bok choy & serve your dish

Meanwhile, in the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic and chopped bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the cooked rice topped with the sliced steaks, cooked bok choy, kimchi, and marinated carrots. Drizzle with the glaze. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
