Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • green onions chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Begin by rinsing 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice with 1 ½ cups water and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and steam covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  • While the rice cooks, slice the flank steak thinly against the grain. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger to make the honey garlic sauce.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove broccoli and set aside.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the hot pan. Add sliced beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 1-2 minutes. Stir-fry beef for 3-4 minutes until mostly cooked, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Return broccoli to the pan with the beef. Pour honey garlic sauce over and toss to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats beef and broccoli.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot over jasmine rice.

Notes

  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Rinse jasmine rice thoroughly to achieve fluffy, non-sticky grains.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking beef to allow proper searing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos for a soy-free version and honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
