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.
