Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking the steak and onions
  • 1 pound ribeye, sirloin, or strip steak 1 inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon salt for seasoning the steak
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper for seasoning the steak
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice such as basmati or jasmine
  • 2 cups water for cooking the rice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce for seasoning the onions

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set it aside to keep warm.
  2. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onions and cook over medium heat until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Once the onions are caramelized, add the soy sauce and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. To serve, slice the steak against the grain and arrange it over the cooked rice. Top with the caramelized onions and any remaining sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Choose the right steak for best results. Don't overcook the steak. Caramelize the onions for best flavor. Use the right rice for best texture. Customize the recipe with different types of steak, vegetables, or grains. Serve with a side salad, bread, or wine. Make ahead and freeze for later use.
