Ingredients:
– 2 cups beef or chicken broth
– 1/4 cup honey
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
– 1 lb 450g sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
– 1 cup long-grain white rice or jasmine rice
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
– Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes. This will be your sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. Set aside for later.
2. Cook the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized steak pieces, seasoning them with salt and black pepper. Sear each piece for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Rice: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Next, stir in the rice, mixing it with the butter and letting it toast for about 1-2 minutes until its lightly golden.
4. Simmer the Rice: Pour in the beef or chicken broth, sprinkle in the paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
5. Combine and Finish: When the rice is fully cooked, return the seared steak to the skillet. Drizzle your prepared honey garlic sauce over the steak and rice, stirring everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, allowing the sauce to thicken and envelop all the ingredients.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and sliced green onions over the dish for a pop of color and flavor. Serve your Honey Garlic Butter Chicken and Rice Skillet warm, and enjoy this heartwarming meal!
