Steak, Rice & Broccoli

Since I'm not really much of a veggie eater, I try to incorporate them into some of the dishes I cook, so that I at least get some of my veggies!  This recipe is very hearty and my husband really liked it.


Steak, Rice & Broccoli

1 small round steak or flank steak
2 stalks of broccoli, stems removed and heads chopped
1 cup white rice
2 cans beef broth
1 to 2 cups of water (as needed)
2 Tbsp. real butter
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. ground pepper

Slice steak into small, thin strips about 1" long.  In a deep skillet, melt butter and then add the steak.  Saute' for about 8 to 10 minutes until the steak is browned and cooked through.  Add 2 cans of beef broth, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium.  Cover with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes to tenderize the meat.  Check occasionally to make sure the beef broth has not reduced too much.  If it has, add some water (about 1/2 cup at a time). 

Remove lid and add 1 cup of white rice and the chopped up broccoli.  Add additional water (about 1 cup), replace lid and cook for about 10 minutes (until rice is cooked through).  Again, keep an eye on the liquid level and add water if you need to.  Once the rice is completely cooked, remove and serve.

This is a really good one-pot meal!  Enjoy...
