Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) of sirloin or ribeye steak, sliced into strips
- 1 ½ cups of long-grain rice
- 3 cups of chicken broth or water
- ½ cup of honey BBQ sauce
- 1 cup of heavy cream or coconut milk for dairy-free options
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: chopped parsley, green onions, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the steak into thin strips and dicing the onion. Mince the garlic and measure out all your ingredients.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove steak and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, coating it with the aromatics. Pour in the chicken broth or water along with the honey BBQ sauce. Stir well.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk for creaminess, then add the cooked steak back into the skillet, mixing gently.
- Let rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use high-quality honey BBQ sauce for richer flavor.
- Select tender cuts of steak for juiciness.
- Maintain a gentle simmer to prevent rice from becoming mushy.
- Adjust the amount of cream or coconut milk to control creaminess.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or peas for extra nutrition and color.
