Sweet Thai Chili Steak

• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, pat pork dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). Remove pan from heat. • Transfer pork to one side of a baking sheet.

Swap in chicken or steak for pork; cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, or cook steak to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest. (No need for a baking sheet!)

• Toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet from pork with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until pork is cooked through and broccoli is browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. • Once pork is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.

Season broccoli and spread across entire sheet; roast as instructed.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook until softened and slightly browned, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate, chili sauce, ponzu, and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in a big squeeze of lime juice to taste. Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted.
