Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Rice
- 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Honey Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Rice: In the same skillet, add the rice and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Prepare the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce: While the rice cooks, melt butter in a separate small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Add Flavorings to the Sauce: Stir in honey, soy sauce, and ground ginger to the melted butter and garlic. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Combine Steak and Sauce with Rice: Once the rice is cooked, return the cooked steak pieces to the skillet with the rice. Pour the honey garlic butter sauce over the mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat the steak and rice evenly with the flavorful sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top as a fresh garnish. Serve the skillet hot and enjoy immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the beef broth with chicken or vegetable broth if preferred.
- For a lower sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
- Make sure to cut steak into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added nutrition and color.
- If you want a spicier kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the sauce while simmering.
