Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) steak (cut into strips)
Cooking Fats and Aromatics:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (200 grams) rice (uncooked)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Sear the seasoned steak in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until achieving desired doneness, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a separate plate.
- Lower the skillet temperature and introduce butter, allowing it to melt smoothly. Incorporate minced garlic and sauté for 60-90 seconds until fragrant, releasing its aromatic essence.
- Create the flavor-packed sauce by whisking honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard into the garlic butter. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring consistently until it reaches a slightly thickened consistency.
- Pour uncooked rice directly into the skillet, then add beef broth. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil, then immediately reduce heat to low, cover, and allow rice to steam for 18 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Once rice is tender and liquid absorbed, gently reintroduce the seared steak into the skillet, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the honey garlic sauce.
- Allow the steak and rice to warm together for an additional 2-3 minutes, enabling the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley across the skillet for a vibrant, herbaceous garnish before serving immediately.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality cut like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor absorption.
- Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown crust and better caramelization.
- Use a meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness without overcooking the steak.
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos and use certified gluten-free beef broth.
- Swap white rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative that maintains the dish’s delicious profile.
- Let the steak rest for 5-7 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicier bite.
- Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for an extra kick of heat if you enjoy spicier flavors.
