Ingredients
For the Steak:
1 lb steak (cut into strips, such as sirloin or ribeye)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon butter
For the Rice:
2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Steak
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Season the steak strips with salt and pepper to taste.
Sear the steak strips in the skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 2: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium.
Add 1 tablespoon butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Stir in the honey and soy sauce, mixing until well combined.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 1–2 minutes, letting it slightly thicken.
Step 3: Prepare the Rice
Add the cooked rice directly into the skillet with the sauce.
Sprinkle in garlic powder (optional) for extra flavor.
Stir the rice to coat it evenly with the honey garlic butter sauce.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Return the cooked steak strips to the skillet, placing them on top of the rice.
Spoon some of the sauce over the steak to coat it with the rich, garlicky flavor.
Allow everything to cook together for 1–2 minutes to heat through.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot, straight from the skillet, for a comforting and satisfying meal.
