6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups water
- 1½ cups uncooked glutinous white rice
- 1 14 oz. can beef broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound boneless beef sirloin steak thinly sliced
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
Instructions
Prepare the Rice:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the rice, reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
Mix the Sauce:
- While the rice is cooking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
Cook the Beef:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef to the dry skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and its juices have mostly evaporated.
Add the Broccoli and Sauce:
- Incorporate the broccoli florets into the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook until the sauce thickens and the broccoli is tender-crisp, approximately 4–5 minutes.
Serve:
- Spoon the cooked rice onto plates or into bowls. Top with the beef and broccoli mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy.
