Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 mixing spoon
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef steak (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced Ensure it is tender to achieve the best results.
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the steak by slicing it into thin strips against the grain. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, garlic, and honey. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Stir in the soy sauce and return the cooked steak to the skillet, mixing well to coat the steak in the honey garlic mixture. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the rice and toast it for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Pour the beef broth into the skillet and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • After the rice is done, gently fold in the honey garlic steak mixture, mixing until well combined.
  • Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
