Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) steak, thinly sliced (sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Carbohydrates:
- 3 cups cooked and cooled rice (day-old rice works best)
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Vegetables:
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the protein by searing sliced steak in a sizzling skillet with melted butter. Cook each side until a rich, caramelized exterior develops, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer the steak to a separate plate, preserving its succulent juices.
- Utilize the same skillet’s seasoned surface to scramble eggs. Create soft, fluffy curds by gently stirring the beaten eggs, incorporating residual meat drippings for enhanced flavor. Remove eggs and set aside with the steak.
- Infuse the pan with aromatic garlic, allowing its pungent essence to bloom for mere moments. Introduce frozen vegetable medley, sautéing until they reach a vibrant, heated state with slight tenderness.
- Create textural rice perfection by spreading grains across the skillet’s surface. Allow the rice to develop a delicate golden crust, carefully preventing burning while encouraging crispy edges.
- Reunite all components: reintroduce seared steak, scrambled eggs, and freshly chopped green onions. Drizzle with umami-rich soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Season with salt and black pepper, thoroughly incorporating each ingredient.
- Elevate the dish’s complexity with optional red pepper flakes for subtle heat. Plate immediately, garnishing with additional green onion ribbons for visual appeal and fresh flavor contrast.
Notes
- Choose high-quality steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor when preparing this dish.
- Pat the steak dry before cooking to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear that locks in delicious juices.
- Use day-old cold rice for best results, as freshly cooked rice can become mushy and stick together during frying.
- Customize vegetable mix based on seasonal availability or personal preferences, keeping frozen options as a convenient backup.
- Adjust cooking temperature to medium-high to prevent burning while achieving a crispy rice texture and caramelized edges.
