# How-To Steps:
01 - Cook the rice according to package instructions and keep warm until ready to assemble.
02 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside for serving.
03 - Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
04 - Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
05 - Add soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang or sriracha, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce coats the beef and slightly caramelizes.
06 - Divide warm rice among four serving bowls. Top each portion with the seasoned Korean beef. Arrange shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and red cabbage around the beef.
07 - Drizzle spicy mayo generously over each bowl. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.
