Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 pound sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)

Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice and 2 cups of water in a medium-sized pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, slice the sirloin steak thinly against the grain. In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Add the sliced steak to the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

To make the sauce, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Pour this into the skillet along with any remaining marinade from the beef. Bring to a simmer while stirring, until the sauce thickens, approximately 2 minutes.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss everything together to coat it in the sauce. Add sriracha sauce if you're using it and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Serve the beef and vegetable mixture over a bed of brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
