Stir Fried Sirloin Steak W/ Brown Rice

I tried a stir fried beef recipe that turned out bland & boring. So I improvised, and this is the result. My husband requests it nearly every week and loves taking the leftovers for lunch. Note: rice is not included in prep/cook time

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  cups brown rice
• 1  lb  sirloin steak
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄2 garlic clove, minced
• 1⁄2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1  onion, sliced (I prefer cippollini)
• 1  tomatoes, diced

Directions

1. Cook rice fully before starting meat.
2. Fill large saucepan with 4 c water & 2 c brown rice. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, & simmer 50 minutes. Set aside.
3. Trim fat from steak and cut into small, thin pieces.
4. In a large skillet, heat oil and sauté garlic until garlic is golden.
5. Add steak, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring beef until brown.
6. Add onion and tomato. Cook until onion is transparent. Stir in rice until well mixed.
7. Note: My husband hates onions, but loves the flavor they do give this dish. To appease him, I cook with the onions & remove them prior to adding the rice.
