Ingredients
  

For the Steak and Marinade
  • 1.5 pounds Flank Steak A great source of lean protein; easily substituted with chicken or tofu.
  • 3 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce Provides deep umami flavor; tamari can be used for a gluten-free alternative.
  • 3 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Adds acidity; apple cider vinegar can serve as a substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil Enhances aroma; regular sesame oil can work, but toasted provides richer flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Perfect for grilling; can use avocado oil for higher heat resistance.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Natural sweetness balances flavors; maple syrup is a vegan-friendly substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha Adjust to taste for spice level.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (grated) Essential for flavor depth; ground ginger is usable but less fresh-tasting.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced) Essential aromatic; shallots can provide a gentler flavor.
For the Salsa
  • 1 mango peeled and diced Offers sweetness and freshness; pineapple or peach works well as substitutes.
  • 1 English cucumber diced Provides crunch; can substitute with regular cucumber or bell pepper.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped) Brightens the dish; parsley can work as a milder alternative.
  • 1/3 cup Green Onions (slices) Great for garnishing and flavor; red onions can be used for a robust flavor.
  • 1 lime juiced Brightens flavors; lemon can be used if preferred.
For the Sriracha Mayo
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise For the creamy dressing; Greek yogurt can substitute for a healthier alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Adds creaminess; can replace with sour cream for flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha Adjust to taste for spice level.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Adjust ingredients to your desired level of sweetness.
For Assembly
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice Base of the dish; opt for brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.
  • 1 Avocado peeled and thinly sliced Adds creaminess; omit for lower-fat option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a measuring glass or bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, honey, sriracha, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully combined.
  2. Place flank steak into a resealable freezer bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, up to six hours.
  3. In a bowl, combine diced mango, cucumber, chopped cilantro, and green onions. Squeeze lime juice and add salt to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sriracha, honey, and salt. Refrigerate until serving.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to 450-500°F. Clean the grill grates and lightly oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Remove steak from marinade, pat it dry, and season with salt. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare.
Assembly
  1. In each bowl, add ½ cup of rice. Top with sliced steak, mango cucumber salsa, and avocado slices. Drizzle with sriracha mayo and garnish with sesame seeds.
