Teriyaki Beef and Avocado Rice Stack – A Flavor Explosion for Dinner!
I just whipped up this Teriyaki Beef and Avocado Rice Stack for dinner, and let me tell you – it’s a total game changer! The combination of savory teriyaki beef, creamy avocado, and the heartiness of rice creates a perfect balance of flavors that is both satisfying and mouthwatering. If you’re looking for something that’s easy to make but tastes like a gourmet meal, you’ve got to try this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb flank steak (or any cut of beef you prefer)
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (or more depending on your taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cooked rice (brown rice works great for added nutrition, but white rice works fine too)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1-2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- A squeeze of lime (optional, but adds a nice zing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Marinate the Beef: Start by cutting your flank steak (or preferred cut) into thin strips. Place them in a bowl and pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, though longer will give more flavor.
- Cook the Rice: While the beef is marinating, cook your rice as directed. If you want to make this meal even healthier, go for brown rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- Cook the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the pan, seasoning it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the beef for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Don’t forget to reserve some of the teriyaki sauce to drizzle over the top later.
- Assemble the Stack: In a large serving bowl or plate, start with a layer of rice as your base. Then, layer the cooked teriyaki beef on top of the rice. Add slices of creamy avocado on top of the beef to bring in that smooth, rich flavor. Drizzle a bit more teriyaki sauce over the entire stack for that extra punch of flavor.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the avocado, and add a few chopped green onions for that fresh, crisp bite. Optionally, squeeze some lime over the top to elevate the dish even more. Serve immediately and enjoy the layers of flavors!
