Ingredients:
For the Steak & Shrimp:
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 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
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
For the Vegetables:
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper (to taste)
For the Yellow Rice:
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 3/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt (to taste)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare 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.
Add the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce 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.
2️⃣ Cook 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.
3️⃣ Cook the Steak:
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.
4️⃣ Cook the Shrimp:
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 garlic, honey, and soy sauce to the skillet, tossing the shrimp to coat in the sticky sauce. Let it caramelize for 1 minute.
5️⃣ Combine Everything:
Return the steak and vegetables to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss everything in the honey garlic sauce until well coated.
6️⃣ Assemble the Dish:
Plate the yellow rice and top with the steak, shrimp, and vegetables. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
