Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef sirloin sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  2. Add sliced beef in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Cook until internal temperature reaches 145°F, then remove from skillet and let rest for at least 3 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, add green beans and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in beef broth and honey, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  6. Return beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and finish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the beef.
