Ingredients

  • 2 cups minute/instant white rice option to use minute/instant brown rice
  • 2 heads broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces (~6-8 cups florets)
  • 1 large red pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce option to swap tamari
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce gluten-free, if desired
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons red chili sauce or more if you like it spicy
  • 1.5 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lb. flank steak tenderized and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 375ºF and spray a 9-inch x 13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Then, sprinkle the white rice onto the bottom of the casserole dish.
  • Next, prepare veggies. Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces and finely dice a large red pepper and half a yellow onion. Add those to the casserole dish.
  • Prepare sauce by mixing together soy sauce, hoisin, minced garlic, maple syrup, red chili sauce, beef broth, and water. Set aside.
  • Prepare flank steak by placing it in between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Then, using a meat tenderizer, tenderize meat until it's around 1/2-inch thick. This will help break down the beef and make it a lot less chewy.
  • Next, slice the beef into 1/2-inch pieces and add it to the casserole dish.
  • Pour the sauce over steak, veggies, and rice, and use a large wooden spoon to mix everything together.
  • Cover casserole dish with a piece of tin foil and bake at 375ºF for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and mix. Cover again and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and uncover. Then, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, uncovered or until the beef is fully cooked and the rice is no longer crunchy.
  • Let sit for around 5-10 minutes before serving to let the sauce fully soak up.
