Ingredients
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 lb steak (cut into strips)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steak strips in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 2:
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 3:
Add the honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 4:
Add the rice to the skillet and stir it into the sauce, ensuring it’s coated. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and tender.
Step 5:
Return the steak to the skillet and stir to combine with the rice and sauce. Let it cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the steak to warm through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
To achieve the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tender steak, it’s essential to watch your cooking time closely. Steak strips should be cooked just until golden brown don’t overcook them, as they can dry out quickly. Also, be mindful of the garlic. While it adds a beautiful flavor, it can burn easily if cooked for too long. Always cook it on medium heat, and add the sauce soon after it becomes fragrant.
