Preparation

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper until combined. Add sliced flank steak, coat well, cover, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add cooking oil, cook marinated steak for 2-3 minutes per side until seared, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Place warm rice in serving bowls, layer with fresh vegetables, slice rested steak against the grain, and arrange on top.
Drizzle spicy cream sauce over the bowls, garnish with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
