Ingredients:

2 thin-cut rib-eye steaks (about 1 pound)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder

Kosher salt 

2 heads baby bok choy, halved 

1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks 

2/3 cup mayonnaise 

2 tablespoons rice vinegar 

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce 

Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

2 green onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons chili paste, for serving 

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, for serving 

Directions:

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the steaks with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with 1 tablespoon of the five-spice powder and a pinch of salt.
  3. Toss the bok choy and red pepper with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons five-spice powder. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the steaks, bok choy and peppers to the grill. Cook, flipping halfway, until the steaks and vegetables are grill-marked and the steaks are cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board.
  5. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  6. Divide the rice between 2 bowls and top with the vegetables. Slice the steaks and divide between the bowls. Garnish with the mayonnaise mixture and green onions, as well as a tablespoon each of the chili paste and hoisin sauce.
