- 1 lb skirt steak
- 3 tbsp soy sauce

- 4 to 5 cups water
- 1 to 2 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Premium Roasted Beef Base
- 1 stalk lemongrass cut into pieces and lightly smashed

Make the marinade and coat the steak
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Add the skirt steak and toss until fully coated. Let it sit at room temperature while you prepare the rest.
Cook the rice until tender and fluffy
Simmer the broth until aromatic
In a saucepan, combine 4 to 5 cups of water with the Better Than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base, whisking until fully dissolved. Add the lemongrass, smashed garlic, and sliced ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until fragrant and layered. Taste and adjust with more bouillon if needed.
Sear the steak until charred and tender
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the marinated steak and sear for a few minutes per side, undisturbed, until deeply browned with a slight char. Remove from the pan and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Steam the broccolini until just tender
Slice the steak against the grain
Assemble the bowl with plenty of broth
Divide the rice between bowls, then top with sliced steak and broccolini. Ladle the hot broth generously over everything, this should be a brothy, spoonable bowl. Finish with scallions and chili oil.
