Ingredients
Rice & Quinoa
- 6 ounces Minute Instant Rice & Quinoa (two pouches)
- 2 cups water
Steak Bowl
- 1 pound shaved steak
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 medium onion (sweet, yellow, or Vidalia), sliced
- 4 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Honey Mustard Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard until the sauce becomes creamy and well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare rice and quinoa: Cook the Minute Instant Rice & Quinoa according to package instructions using 2 cups of water. This usually takes a few minutes and can be done simultaneously while preparing the steak.
- Cook the steak and onions: In a large cast iron skillet, melt the salted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions become tender and slightly translucent.
- Add and season shaved steak: Add the shaved steak to the skillet with the onions. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the steak just browns without drying out, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate Swiss cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese into the skillet and stir gently until the cheese melts and coats the steak and onions evenly.
- Assemble bowls: Divide the cooked Minute Instant Rice & Quinoa between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cheesy steak and onion mixture.
- Drizzle honey mustard: Spoon the prepared honey mustard sauce over the top of each bowl just before serving, then enjoy your flavorful steak bowl.
Notes
- You can substitute the shaved steak with thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for extra tenderness.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the Swiss cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Adjust the honey mustard sauce sweetness by adding more or less honey, according to your taste preference.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
- Instant rice and quinoa pouches can be found in most grocery stores, making this recipe quick and convenient.
