Teriyaki Steak Bites with Veggies and Rice
Teriyaki Steak Bites with Veggies and Rice
Ingredients: makes 5 servings
~1.5 lbs lean sirloin beef, cut into bite-sized cubes
¼ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
12 oz bag pre-cut broccoli florets
2 red bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
2 (8.5 oz) microwave-ready rice packets (I used Ben’s Basmati Ready Rice)
½ onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp olive oil
Garnish: green onions, finely chopped, and sesame seeds
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste
Instructions:
Steak Bites:
In a large pan over medium heat, heat 1 tsp olive oil. Once hot, add ½ the chopped onion. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft, then add ½ the garlic. Sauté for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the steak bites and cook until browned.
While steak cooks, combine teriyaki sauce, cornstarch, and 1–2 tbsp cold water in a small bowl. Mix until smooth (no lumps). Add more water if needed.Pour sauce into the pan with steak bites. Cook until sauce reduces to your desired consistency.
Season to taste with extra sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, if desired.
Set aside.
Veggies:
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tsp olive oil. Once hot, add the rest of the chopped onion. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft, then add the remaining garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add sliced bell peppers and sauté 2–3 minutes until slightly soft. Add broccoli and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring well.
Turn heat to medium-high. Add 2–3 tbsp water, cover with a lid, and steam for 1–2 minutes until broccoli is tender but still bright green. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Rice:
Prepare according to package instructions.
Optional: drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce.
If meal prepping, rice can be cooked ahead or right before eating.
Storage and Assembly:
For meal prep, divide everything into 5 airtight containers. Keep rice separate from steak and veggies to prevent sogginess.
Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes or until fully heated through.
Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
