Beef & Broccoli

Recipe Directions

1. Add slightly more than 1/2 cup of water (for each serving of rice you are preparing) to a saucepot. Put the saucepot over medium-high heat and bring up to a boil. Once boiling, add a small pinch of salt for each serving you are preparing. Turn the heat down to medium or medium-low to maintain a simmer. Pour the brown rice (a) into the water and stir well. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes (for 1-2 servings) or 20 minutes (for 3 or more servings).
2. While the rice is cooking, cut open the package of scallion spiced beef (b) and place on a plate. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Form the beef into small balls (about the size of your thumbnail). Set aside.
3. When the rice has cooked for 15-20 minutes, remove from the heat. Let it sit while you finish the dish.
4. Heat a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. When the pan has warmed up, add 1 tbsp of oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the beef to the pan. Cook for 90 seconds without stirring.
5. After 90 seconds, gently stir to turn the pieces of beef over. Add the broccoli and shishito peppers (c) to the pan. Saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. When the beef is cooked to your liking, spoon the beef and vegetables into a mixing bowl. Pour the sticky sauce (d) on top. Use a wooden spoon to coat everything with sauce.
7. At this point, the rice should be ready. Gently stir and fluff with a fork.
8. Spoon the brown rice on to your serving plates. Add the beef & vegetables on top. Garnish with the chopped scallions (e).
