Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 cups diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp honey on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
- Step 2: While sweet potatoes roast, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger in a bowl to make the teriyaki sauce.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water until smooth and set aside.
- Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz thinly sliced sirloin steak and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just browned.
- Step 5: Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the steak and cook for 2 minutes, then add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the steak, about 1-2 minutes.
- Step 6: In another pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Step 7: To assemble bowls, divide 3 cups steamed jasmine rice among four bowls. Top each with the teriyaki steak, roasted sweet potatoes, and sautéed broccoli.
- Step 8: Garnish each bowl with 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.
