Instructions

Cook the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized steak pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning to brown on all sides until nicely seared. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
Cook the rice: In the same skillet, add the uncooked rice and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice cook for 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid has been fully absorbed.
Prepare the honey garlic butter sauce: While the rice cooks, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden, taking care not to burn it.
Simmer the sauce: Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and ground ginger into the melted butter and garlic. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld together.
Combine steak, rice, and sauce: Once the rice is done cooking, return the cooked steak pieces to the skillet. Pour the honey garlic butter sauce evenly over the steak and rice. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are coated with the delicious sauce.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve the skillet meal immediately while hot and enjoy!

Notes

Steak choice can vary depending on preference; ribeye or sirloin work best for tenderness and flavor.
Be sure to monitor garlic closely when sautéing to avoid burning, which can impart bitterness.
If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
