- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon black pepper - 1 teaspoon salt The sirloin steak is key here. It cooks fast and stays juicy. The garlic adds a rich, warm flavor. The butter makes everything better with its creamy goodness. Soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce bring depth to the dish. - 1 cup jasmine rice - 2 cups beef broth (or water) - 1 tablespoon olive oil Jasmine rice is my favorite for this dish. It has a nice aroma and a fluffy texture. You can use beef broth for a richer taste, or plain water if you prefer. Olive oil helps to prevent sticking and adds a bit of flavor. - 2 green onions, sliced - Fresh parsley, chopped Garnishes are not just pretty; they add brightness to your meal. Green onions give a fresh crunch. Parsley adds color and a hint of herbiness. You can skip them, but I highly recommend using them for a complete dish. To start, grab a medium saucepan. Combine 1 cup of jasmine rice and 2 cups of beef broth. You can also use water if you prefer. Turn the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes. The rice should be fluffy and the liquid absorbed. After cooking, remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes with the lid on. This step makes the rice perfect. While the rice cooks, season 1 pound of sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces. Use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Sear them for 2-3 minutes per side. You want a nice brown color but keep them tender. If your skillet is crowded, sear in batches. After cooking, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt. Once melted, stir in 4 minced garlic cloves. Cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes until it smells great. Be careful not to burn it. This garlic butter sauce adds rich flavor to your steak bites. Now it’s time to bring it all together. Return the steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes. This helps the flavors mix well. To serve, fluff the rice with a fork and divide it onto plates. Top each portion with the garlic butter steak bites. Finally, garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Enjoy your meal! To sear steak bites well, start with dry meat. Pat them with paper towels. This helps make a nice crust. Heat your skillet on high before adding the steak. Use a bit of olive oil to coat the pan. Place the steak in a single layer to avoid steaming. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. You want a brown crust but still juicy inside. If your pan gets crowded, cook in batches. This step is key for great flavor. To boost the garlic butter sauce, use fresh garlic. Fresh adds a nice punch. Try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor. You can also add a splash of lemon juice for brightness. If you want heat, mix in crushed red pepper flakes. This adds a nice kick. Taste as you go to find your perfect balance. For fluffy rice, rinse jasmine rice first. This removes extra starch and keeps it light. Use beef broth for a deeper flavor. Bring the broth to a boil before adding rice. Cover the pot to trap steam. Lower the heat to simmer it gently for 15-18 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes after cooking. This helps the rice finish cooking and stay fluffy. Fluff it with a fork before serving. {{image_2}} You can switch out the sirloin steak for other tasty meats. Chicken breast works great. Simply cut it into bite-sized pieces and follow the same steps. Pork tenderloin is another option. It cooks quickly and stays juicy. If you want a plant-based choice, try firm tofu. Just cube it and sauté until golden brown. Each protein brings its unique flavor to the dish. While jasmine rice is soft and fragrant, you can use other rice types. Basmati rice gives a nutty taste. Brown rice adds more fiber and a chewy texture. For a fun twist, use cauliflower rice for fewer carbs. It cooks quickly and soaks up the garlic butter well. Choose the rice that fits your taste or diet. Adding veggies boosts the dish’s nutrition and flavor. You can toss in bell peppers when cooking the steak. They add a sweet crunch. Broccoli or snap peas are also great choices. Add them a few minutes before the steak is done. This way, they stay bright and crisp. You can even mix in spinach at the end for a pop of color. Vegetables make this meal healthier and more colorful. To store your leftover garlic butter steak bites and rice, first let them cool. Place the steak bites and rice in separate airtight containers. This keeps them fresh and tasty. You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. Keeping them separate stops the rice from getting soggy. When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, reheating is easy. Place the rice in a microwave-safe bowl and add a splash of water. Cover it with a damp paper towel. Heat it in the microwave for about one to two minutes. Stir it halfway through for even heat. For the steak bites, microwave them in a separate bowl for about one minute. Check to see if they’re warm. If not, heat for another 30 seconds. If you want to save the dish longer, freezing is a great option. Allow the steak bites and rice to cool completely. Then, place each in a freezer-safe container. You can also use freezer bags. Make sure to remove as much air as possible. This helps prevent freezer burn. You can freeze the steak bites and rice for up to three months. When you're ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating. Yes, you can make this recipe in less than 30 minutes. To do this, you need to multitask. Start cooking the rice first. While the rice cooks, season and sear the steak. This way, both parts finish at the same time. Just make sure to keep an eye on the steak so it does not overcook. You will taste the same great flavors, even if you rush a bit! You can use water if you don’t have beef broth. The rice will still taste good, but broth adds depth. You might also try chicken broth or vegetable broth for a different flavor. If you want a richer taste, mix water with a bit of soy sauce. This tip can make a big difference without much effort. Yes, you can make a low-carb version. Instead of rice, use cauliflower rice. It cooks fast and absorbs flavors well.
