Preparation

Cook your rice according to package instructions and set it aside.

Cooking the Steak

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Season the steak strips with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
Let them brown for about 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Making the Sauce

Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet.
Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the honey and soy sauce, stirring to combine.
Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Combining Ingredients

Add the cooked rice into the skillet, tossing to mix well and coat the rice with the sauce.
Optional: Stir in any fresh veggies at this stage.

Serving

Remove from heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring until melted.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

Aim for medium-rare steak for tenderness. Customize with any veggies you have on hand. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
