Instructions

Follow these steps to create a flavorful, restaurant-worthy dish that’s sure to impress.

Step 1: Prepare the Yellow Rice

1. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup long-grain white rice, ½ tsp turmeric powder, ¼ tsp cumin powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir and toast for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
2. Pour in 1¾ cups chicken or vegetable broth, stir, and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
4. Fluff with a fork and keep warm with the lid on.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and chopped green bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Season with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper.
2. Remove the vegetables to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Steak

1. In a small bowl, season ½ lb steak pieces with ½ tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
2. In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over high heat. Add the steak pieces in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to medium (135°F/57°C internal temperature for medium). Remove to a plate and set aside.

Step 4: Cook the Shrimp and Make the Sauce

1. Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add ½ lb shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove to the plate with the steak.
2. In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Stir and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and caramelizes.
3. Return the steak, shrimp, and sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Toss everything in the honey garlic sauce for 1-2 minutes until well coated and heated through.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

1. Divide the yellow rice among 4 plates or a large serving platter as the base.
2. Top with the honey garlic steak, shrimp, and vegetables, ensuring an even distribution.
3. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the dish for extra flavor.
4. Garnish with chopped green onions, parsley, sesame seeds, lemon wedges, or red pepper flakes for a pop of color and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• Main Dish: Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or a crisp green salad.
• Date Night: Pair with a glass of white wine, like Chardonnay, or a light red, like Pinot Noir.
• Family Meal: Add garlic bread or dinner rolls for a hearty spread.
