Sizzlin' Saigon Steak Bowls

Ingredients:

• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 cucumber
• 1 lime
• 8 oz shredded carrots
• 2 tsp sriracha
• 4 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 1/2 jasmine rice
• 1/2 oz cilantro
• 1 red chili pepper
• 1 tbsp mayo
• 1 1/4 lb diced steak
• 1 oz peanuts
• 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp sugar
• salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions:

1. Set rice to cook. Mince or grate garlic, add half to rice.
2. Cut cucumber into half-moons. Roughly chop cilantro leaves and stems. Quarter lime. Thinly slice chili.
3. In a medium bowl, toss together cucumber, carrots, half the cilantro, a drizzle of oil, and juice from half the lime. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add 1 tsp sugar and toss to combine.
4. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, a squeeze of lime juice, and sriracha to taste. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
5. Pat diced steak dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and remaining garlic; cook until steak is cooked almost to desired doneness, 2-3 minutes. Add soy sauce and cook, stirring, until liquid has reduced and steak reaches desired doneness, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
6. Fluff rice with a fork and stir in 2 tbsp butter. Divide between bowls and top with diced steak and cucumber mix. Drizzle with sriracha-lime mayo. Garnish with remaining cilantro, peanuts, and chili to taste.

Note: I forgot the peanuts the first time I made this and it was still delicious.
