Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin or flank steak
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Season steak strips liberally with salt and pepper.
- Sear the beef for 3 to 4 minutes until deeply browned, then remove from the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet.
- Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
- Add the uncooked rice to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce mixture.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Return the seared steak to the skillet, toss to combine and warm through, then serve immediately.
Notes
Use high-quality beef broth for the best depth of flavor. If you prefer a faster cook, ensure your steak is sliced against the grain to maximize tenderness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
