Ingredients
- For the Steak & Shrimp:
- ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
- For the Vegetables:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- ½ green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- For the Yellow Rice:
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 ¾ cups chicken or vegetable broth
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Cook the Yellow Rice: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rice, turmeric, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Steak & Shrimp: Season the steak pieces with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the steak and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Add minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce to the skillet, tossing the shrimp to coat in the sticky sauce. Let it caramelize for 1 minute.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked steak and vegetables to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss everything in the honey garlic sauce until well combined and evenly coated. Plate the yellow rice as the base and top with the steak, shrimp, and vegetables. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the dish for extra flavor.
Notes
- Customization: You can add other veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for more variety.
- Spicy Kick: Add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the sauce for an extra spicy kick.
