# Directions:
01 - In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir in julienned carrots and let sit for at least 20 minutes, tossing occasionally to ensure even pickling.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochujang if using, and black pepper. Add sliced beef, toss to coat evenly, and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
03 - Cook rice according to package instructions if not already prepared. Set aside and keep warm.
04 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth and adjust spiciness to your preference.
05 - Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking. Add marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
06 - Divide cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with seared beef, drained pickled carrots, cucumber slices, jalapeño slices, green onions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle generously with sriracha mayo.
07 - Serve immediately while beef is warm and rice is at optimal temperature.
