Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
  2. Toss in the steak cubes, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the marinated steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
  5. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized and cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. Transfer steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  7. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, salt, and pepper.
  8. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
