Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) steak (ribeye or sirloin), diced
- 2 eggs, beaten
Starch and Vegetables:
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 green onions, chopped
Seasonings and Fats:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sear the steak in a skillet with butter over medium-high heat at 375°F, seasoning with salt and pepper until browned and caramelized. Transfer to a plate.
- Using the same skillet, melt remaining butter and sauté minced garlic until aromatic and slightly golden.
- Create a small space in the skillet and pour beaten eggs, scrambling quickly until softly set but not fully cooked.
- Incorporate cooked rice into the skillet, drizzling soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Add frozen peas and diced carrots, then reintroduce the previously cooked steak. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated uniformly and ingredients are well combined.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions across the surface of the fried rice for a vibrant finish and additional layer of flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot, ensuring the rice maintains its crispy texture and the steak remains tender.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, well-marbled steak like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Pat steak dry before searing to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent steaming.
- Let steak rest after cooking to retain juices and ensure optimal texture when mixed into fried rice.
- Use day-old cold rice for best results, as freshly cooked rice can become mushy during stir-frying.
- Customize vegetable mix by swapping peas and carrots with seasonal or preferred vegetables like bell peppers or edamame.
- Keep heat high and ingredients moving quickly to prevent burning and maintain crisp texture.
- For gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari and check oyster sauce ingredients.
- Add chili flakes or sriracha for extra heat if desired spicier dish.
