Ternera con arroz al ajo y mantequilla con miel en una sola sartén

Ingredientes

• 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized strips
• 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
• 2 cups low sodium beef broth
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Preparación

1. 1

   Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cut the steak into 1-inch bite-sized strips. Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion for the aromatics.

2. 2

   Brown the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak strips in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Onions and Garlic: Lower the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and melt. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Toast the Rice: Stir the rinsed rice into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic, tossing to coat the rice with butter. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes to enhance its flavor.

5. 5

   Add Broth and Honey: Slowly pour in 2 cups of low sodium beef broth and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir gently to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

6. 6

   Simmer with Steak: Return the browned steak strips to the skillet, nestling them on top of the rice. Dot the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over everything. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to maintain steam.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve: Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and gently mix the steak into the rice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
