Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lb (226 g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups (480 ml) cooked and cooled rice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup (75 g) frozen peas and carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) black pepper
Instructions
- Sear the marinated steak in a scorching skillet at medium-high heat until a rich golden-brown crust develops, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
- Reduce heat to medium and melt butter, releasing the aromatic garlic until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
- Create a small clearing in the pan and crack eggs directly into the space, quickly scrambling them into soft, delicate curds.
- Toss in colorful peas and carrots, stirring vigorously for 1-2 minutes to maintain their vibrant crunch and bright color.
- Crank the heat to high and introduce cold rice, breaking up any clumps while ensuring each grain gets crispy edges and absorbs the surrounding flavors.
- Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil across the rice, meticulously coating every morsel with a rich, umami glaze.
- Slice the rested steak into thin, juicy strips and reintroduce to the pan, gently warming through without overcooking.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions over the dish, adding a sharp, bright finish before serving piping hot.
Notes
- Customize protein choice by swapping steak with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for varied dietary preferences.
- Use day-old cold rice to prevent mushy texture and ensure perfect fried rice consistency.
- Control sodium levels by selecting low-sodium soy sauce and adjusting sauce quantities based on personal taste.
- Add a spicy kick with chili flakes or sriracha sauce for those who enjoy extra heat in their fried rice.
