A hearty and satisfying meal featuring juicy pan-seared steak served alongside rich, savory tomato rice that soaks up every delicious drop of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or strip steak)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed (divided)
  • 1.5 tsp salt (divided)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (divided)
  • 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
  • 2.5 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 0.5 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft.
  2. Stir in half of the garlic and the tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute to deepen flavor.
  3. Add the rice and stir to coat well.
  4. Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Season with half the salt, half the black pepper, and paprika.
  5. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. While rice cooks, season the steak generously with remaining salt and black pepper.
  7. Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat.
  8. Sear the steak for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  9. Add remaining garlic during the last minute of cooking.
  10. Remove steak from pan and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  11. Serve steak alongside tomato rice, spooning pan juices over the top.

Notes

  • Letting the steak rest keeps it juicy.
  • Adjust steak cooking time based on thickness.
  • Brown rice can be used with extra liquid and longer cooking time.
  • Add vegetables to the rice for extra texture.
