Ready, set, gochujang! We love the Korean chili paste for its muscular heat and its complex savoury and sweet notes (thank you, fermented glutinous rice). It boosts the mouth-watering pan sauce that adorns these seared top sirloin steaks. And it’s also not shy to strut its stuff in a fast-made slaw of finely cut veggies.

Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Cook the steaks
Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat the sesame oil on medium-high. Add the steaks* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice). Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Mise en place & make the slaw
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top. Small-dice the cucumbers. In a large bowl, combine up to ½ the gochujang, 1 tsp of the soy sauce (double for 4 portions) and a drizzle of oil. Add the cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, remaining spices and S&P.
Make the sauce
Heat the reserved pan on medium. Add the white bottom of the scallion, remaining soy sauce and gochujang, and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until reduced.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the steaks and slaw. Spoon the sauce over the steaks. Garnish with the green top of the scallion. Bon appétit!
