For the beef:
- 1 pound boneless sirloin steak, thinly sliced

For the tomato salsa:

Instructions
- Make the tomato salsa – In a small bowl, mix together diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and sugar. Stir well and set aside.
- Cook the rice – In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender.
- Marinate the beef – In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, honey, and grated ginger. Add sliced beef and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the beef – Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated beef until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Assemble the stack – In a serving dish, layer cooked rice, grilled beef, tomato salsa, and avocado slices.
- Serve and enjoy – Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra spice, add more jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the salsa.
