AuthorBiteSizedHoney Beef Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that brings the sweet-savory flavors of a restaurant favorite right into your kitchen. Inspired by Jollibee’s beloved Honey Beef Rice, this recipe captures all the same comforting goodness but simplifies the process by using a rice cooker. Perfect for busy weeknights or when you want a hassle-free meal, this dish combines tender beef, fragrant rice, and a honey-infused sauce—all cooked together for maximum convenience and flavor.
The star of this recipe is the honey-glazed beef. Thin slices of beef are marinated in a blend of soy sauce, garlic, and honey, which not only tenderizes the meat but also infuses it with a perfect balance of sweetness and umami. As the beef cooks, the honey caramelizes slightly, giving the meat a glossy, irresistible coating that clings to each piece.
The magic happens when everything comes together in the rice cooker. The marinated beef, uncooked rice, water or broth, and additional seasonings like garlic powder or a splash of sesame oil are added to the cooker. As the rice cooks and steams, it absorbs all the rich flavors from the beef and honey sauce, resulting in a dish that’s both flavorful and incredibly satisfying. The beef remains tender, while the rice becomes infused with the savory-sweet glaze, making every bite full of comforting flavors.
In less than an hour, you’ll have a complete meal ready to serve. Honey Beef Rice is perfect on its own or paired with a side of vegetables or a simple salad. It’s a great recipe for those who love quick, no-fuss meals that don’t skimp on taste, offering all the satisfaction of a takeout favorite with the ease of cooking it at home.
Combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, and black pepper in a bowl. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Turn on the rice cooker and heat the oil. Saute the garlic and onions, and cook until fragrant and the onions are soft.
Add the marinated beef, stir-fry it for 3-5 minutes until browned.
Add the uncooked rice into the rice cooker. Pour in the water and the rest of the marinade. Mix everything gently to distribute the flavors evenly. Close the lid and cook as you usually would for rice.
Once the rice cooker finishes cooking, let it sit with the lid on for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to settle.
Fluff the rice-beef mixture and serve in bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds or spring onions before serving.
