A hearty dish featuring tender broiled steak paired with savory rice cooked in beef broth, garnished with fried onion rings for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Broil the chuck steak at 350°F until tender.
- Saute chopped green onions in butter.
- Add cooked rice, drained sliced mushrooms, and salt to the onions and butter.
- Heat the mixture thoroughly.
- Fluff the rice lightly with a fork.

Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful steak, marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper for a few hours before broiling. If you don't have green onions, chopped shallots or leeks can be good substitutes. Using leftover rice from a previous meal can save time; just ensure it's well-heated and seasoned. This dish is an easy beef dish that can impress guests.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak alongside the royal rice, garnished with crispy fried onion rings for added crunch. A fresh salad or steamed vegetables make great sides to balance the meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Chris Austin's Mazetti for a complete dining experience. Consider a light red wine to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak and rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm the rice in a skillet with a splash of beef broth or water to prevent it from drying out. The steak can be reheated in the oven or on a grill to maintain its juiciness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat to your steak and royal rice, consider incorporating crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the rice mixture. You can also season the steak with a spicy rub before broiling, enhancing its flavors with a kick.
What can I use instead of beef broth for the rice?
If you prefer a lighter flavor, chicken broth or vegetable broth can be used instead of beef broth. For a vegetarian version, cook the rice in vegetable broth and omit the steak, replacing it with grilled portobello mushrooms or seasoned tofu.
Can I prepare the rice in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the rice ahead of time. Cook it in beef broth, allow it to cool, and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to serve, simply reheat and combine it with the sautéed onions and mushrooms as per the recipe.
