Place the thinly sliced ribeye steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all pieces are covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Heat a large skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips in batches, cooking each piece for about 2 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through.
Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with the cooked bulgogi beef, ensuring to distribute the meat equally among the servings.
Garnish each bowl with julienned carrots, sliced cucumber, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve the bulgogi beef bowls immediately. Enjoy the vibrant mix of flavors and textures!
