Ingredients 

  • 2 cups short or medium grain rice
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon mined garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced beef
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped to small pieces

Instructions 

  • Marinate the beef. In a bowl, combine the beef with the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Toss well and let it marinate for about 10–15 minutes while you prepare the rice.
  • Prepare the rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Add the rice and beef broth to the rice cooker and give it a quick stir.
  • Add the beef. Spread the marinated beef in a single layer directly on top of the rice. Do not stir it in. Close the lid and cook using the regular rice setting.
  • Add the broccoli. Once the rice cooker finishes cooking, quickly open the lid and scatter the broccoli florets on top. Close the lid again and let it sit for 5 minutes so the residual heat and steam cook the broccoli.
  • Gently fluff the rice and mix everything together before serving.

Notes

    • Cooking times can vary between rice cookers, so it's best to use the 'white rice' or 'normal' setting for best results.
    • Serve with a variety of options, including the following: 
        • Pair with crunchy seaweed snack.
        • A side of kimchi or pickled vegetables for a tangy, spicy kick.
        • A refreshing cucumber salad or steamed edamame for more veggies.
        • As lettuce wraps for a fun, hands-on meal.
