- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For the beef:
- 1 pound boneless sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
For the tomato salsa:
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, minced

For the avocado:

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.
- Swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
- Use grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu instead of beef for variety.
