Ingredients

– 1 lb sirloin steak
– 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
– 2 cups beef broth (for cooking rice)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 lemon (zest and juice)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon slices (for serving)

Instructions

Creating the 30 Minute Herby Lemon Garlic Steak and Rice is straightforward. Follow these steps for a perfect meal:

1. Prepare the Steak: Start by patting the steak dry with paper towels. This ensures a better sear. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and half of the dried oregano and thyme.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring the beef broth to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to simmer according to package instructions (about 15–20 minutes).
3. Heat the Skillet: While the rice cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the Steak: Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned steak. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting based on your preference. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest.
5. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic and remaining herbs. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
6. Add Lemon: Stir in the lemon juice and zest, allowing it to combine with the garlic. Cook for another minute.
7. Finish the Rice: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and mix it into the skillet with the garlic and lemon mixture. Stir until well combined, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin pieces.
9. Plate the Dish: Serve a generous portion of the herby lemon garlic rice on plates, topped with sliced steak. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices.

These simple steps will guide you in creating a truly incredible meal that can be prepared in no time at all!
