Instructions

1. Wash and dry the produce. Heat the oven to 400°F. Mince the garlic. Zest the lime, then halve it. Thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white parts and green parts separate.
2. Bring 1 cup salted water to a boil in a small pot. Stir in the jasmine rice, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes, then keep covered off the heat.
3. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast until browned in spots and lightly crisp at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the beef sirloin tips, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar, half the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon lime zest and a large drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
5. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan over low heat. Add the scallion whites and remaining garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Stir the peanut butter, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons sugar into the pan. Slowly stir in 1/4 cup water until the sauce is smooth and incorporated. Remove from the heat, add a squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Set the broiler to high or heat the oven to 500°F. Rinse the wooden skewers under water, then thread the marinated beef onto them.
8. Place the skewers on a baking sheet. Broil, flipping halfway through, until lightly charred and cooked to your preferred doneness, 5 to 10 minutes.
9. Fluff the rice and divide it between plates. Add the roasted broccoli and beef skewers. Garnish with scallion greens and serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.
