Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steak (or steak of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 cup Basmati rice
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for rice)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and pepper.
Place a large skillet on medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the steaks to the skillet.
Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness. While cooking, add 1 tablespoon of butter, minced garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Spoon the melted butter and garlic over the steaks to baste them as they cook.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest, covered loosely with foil, for at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the basmati rice and toast it lightly for 1-2 minutes, ensuring it is coated in oil.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle in chopped parsley for garnish, if using.
Plate the rice and top with the rested steak. Serve immediately and enjoy your Simply Elegant Steak and Rice!
