Make this easy one-pan meal featuring tender steak pieces cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce alongside fluffy rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the steak cubes evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the steak cubes to the hot skillet and sear on all sides until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes total. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Stir in the uncooked rice and Italian seasoning, toasting for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Cover the skillet tightly and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
  8. After 15 minutes, gently stir the cooked rice. Return the seared steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the rice.
  9. Cover the skillet again and cook on low for another 5 minutes, or until the steak is cooked through to your preference and the liquid is absorbed.
  10. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving directly from the skillet.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use low-sodium broth and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce when you add the broth.
  • If your steak pieces are thick, you may need to cook them slightly longer in step 4 or finish them briefly with the rice in step 6.
  • Use medium-grain rice if you prefer a slightly stickier texture for your rice base.
