# Instructions:
01 -
In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Season 1 lb sirloin steak cubes with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes until browned, then remove from the pan and set aside. This is the first step towards your delicious One-Pan Garlic Butter Beef Rice | Quick Dinner Delight.
02 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add 4 tbsp unsalted butter to the pan. Once melted, add 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in 6 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03 -
Stir in 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked, coating it in the butter and aromatics. Pour in 3 cups low-sodium beef broth, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Add 1 tsp dried oregano.
04 -
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Avoid lifting the lid during this crucial cooking phase for your One-Pan Garlic Butter Beef Rice | Quick Dinner Delight.
05 -
Once the rice is cooked, return the seared sirloin steak to the pan and gently stir to combine. Cover the pan again and let it rest off the heat for 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully throughout the One-Pan Garlic Butter Beef Rice | Quick Dinner Delight.
06 -
Fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish generously with 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, and 2 green onions, thinly sliced. Serve your One-Pan Garlic Butter Beef Rice | Quick Dinner Delight immediately and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to substitute sirloin with flank steak or skirt steak, adjusting searing time as needed. For a different grain, brown rice can be used, but increase broth to 3.5-4 cups and cooking time to 40-45 minutes.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or in the microwave.
03 -
This dish is a complete meal on its own, but pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or some steamed broccoli for added freshness and vegetables.
