Description

Sizzling garlic butter steak fried rice melds Asian and Western flavors into one skillet sensation. Succulent beef and aromatic rice create a memorable meal you’ll crave again and again.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and melt butter, releasing the aromatic garlic until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
  3. Create a small clearing in the pan and crack eggs directly into the space, quickly scrambling them into soft, delicate curds.
  4. Toss in colorful peas and carrots, stirring vigorously for 1-2 minutes to maintain their vibrant crunch and bright color.
  5. 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.
  6. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil across the rice, meticulously coating every morsel with a rich, umami glaze.
  7. Slice the rested steak into thin, juicy strips and reintroduce to the pan, gently warming through without overcooking.
  8. 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.
