Ingredients:

For the Beef Marinade:

  • 1 pound (450g) lean beef (e.g., sirloin or flank steak)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • optional 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)

For the Rest of the Dish:

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cooked Basmati white rice
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • optional Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:

  • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  • Slice the beef into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

2. Prepare the Rice:

  • Cook your white rice according to the package instructions. Set it aside and keep warm.

3. Sear the Beef:

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
  • Remove the beef from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later.
  • Sear the beef in the hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it’s browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

4. Cook the Broccoli:

  • In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they become bright green and tender-crisp.

5. Bring it All Together:

  • Return the seared beef to the skillet with the broccoli.
  • Pour in the reserved marinade and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

6. Serve:

  • Divide the cooked rice into bowls and top with the Korean beef and broccoli mixture.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal.
