Prep

Cauliflower rice - This makes enough for Thursday. Pulse florets in a food processor until broken up into ‘rice’-sized bits. Cook rice in one of two ways: 1) Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes and then fold in butter. Season with salt and pepper; or 2) Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Saute cauliflower in heated butter for ~5 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Watch this video for the full how-to on cauliflower rice. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Make marinade - Chop garlic and grate ginger. Combine with honey, vinegar (portion for steak), aminos, and hot sauce. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Steak - Slice steak against the grain (i.e., perpendicular to the fibers to prevent toughness). Add marinade and marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to a day. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
Kimchi - Chop kimchi. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Marinate cucumbers - Chop cucumbers. Toss with toasted sesame oil, vinegar (portion for cucumbers), and sesame seeds. Marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to a day. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Make

Heat a wok with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add coleslaw mix and steak (with marinade) and saute until marinade has coated steak and steak is cooked through, ~5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in kimchi and lime juice. Taste and season with some salt or some more lime juice.
Give cucumbers a stir and season with some salt.
If cauliflower rice was made ahead, reheat in the microwave. (Reserve half for Thursday.)
Serve stir-fry over cauliflower rice. Enjoy with cucumbers on the side.
