A quick and hearty dinner bowl featuring tender steak strips and garlicky green beans served over rice or quinoa. Perfect for busy weeknights or impressing guests with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) steak strips (sirloin or flank steak recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 oz (340 g) green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (190 g) uncooked rice or quinoa under cold water. Cook according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes). Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Rinse 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans and trim the ends. Pat dry.
  3. Slice 1 lb (450 g) steak against the grain into thin strips about 1/2-inch thick.
  4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak strips in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
  5. Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Season with salt and pepper while cooking. Remove steak from pan and set aside.
  6. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Toss in minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add green beans, sprinkle with salt, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  8. Drizzle soy sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice over green beans. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes until glazed.
  9. Return steak strips to the pan with green beans. Toss together and heat for 1 minute. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  10. Spoon warm rice or quinoa into bowls and top with steak and garlic green bean mixture.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with extra black pepper or a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing steak to ensure proper browning. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Start cooking rice or quinoa first to multitask efficiently. Keep green beans tender-crisp by monitoring cooking time closely. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For low-carb, swap rice/quinoa with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
