Ingredients 🛒

For the Steak:
1 lb (450 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or strip), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Rice:
1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
2 cups beef or chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste

Instructions 👩‍🍳
Step 1: Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, broth, butter, garlic powder, and salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Step 2: Sear the Steak
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season steak pieces with salt and black pepper.
Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in honey and soy sauce, cooking for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Combine Steak and Sauce
Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1–2 minutes to heat through.
Step 5: Assemble the Skillet
Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the steak and sauce. Stir gently to combine, letting the flavors meld for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve and Enjoy!
Spoon the steak and rice into bowls or serve straight from the skillet for a rustic presentation.
