Instructions

1. Step 1: Season beef cubes with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp salt. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned, then remove and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add diced red onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Stir in diced mango and pineapple, cooking for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
3. Step 3: Add lime juice and 3 tbsp chopped cilantro to the skillet, then return beef to the pan. Cook for 2 more minutes until beef is heated through.
4. Step 4: While beef cooks, combine jasmine rice, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 cup vegetable broth, and 1/2 tsp salt in a rice cooker or pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
5. Step 5: Fluff rice with a fork and serve alongside the beef and mango-pineapple salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro.
