Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) steak, thinly sliced (sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Rice and Vegetables:
- 3 cups cooked and cooled rice (day-old rice works best)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 3 green onions, sliced
Seasoning and Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and melt butter. Sear steak slices until golden brown and cooked to your preferred doneness, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a separate plate.
- Using the same skillet with residual steak juices, create soft scrambled eggs by whisking and cooking until just set. Incorporate any remaining meat drippings into the eggs. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Introduce another butter portion to the skillet and quickly sauté minced garlic until aromatic, approximately 30 seconds. Add frozen vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes, ensuring they are thoroughly heated.
- Maneuver vegetables to one side of the skillet, then add remaining butter. Distribute rice evenly, allowing it to crisp by remaining undisturbed for 1-2 minutes.
- Reunite steak, scrambled eggs, and green onions into the skillet. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss ingredients thoroughly to ensure uniform coating.
- Optional: Sprinkle red pepper flakes for additional heat. Garnish with extra green onions and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- Optimize meat tenderness by slicing steak against the grain, ensuring each bite remains juicy and easy to chew.
- Use day-old cold rice for better texture, preventing mushy fried rice and helping grains separate perfectly during cooking.
- Choose high-heat resistant butter or swap with clarified butter to prevent burning and maintain rich flavor during sautéing.
- Customize protein options by substituting steak with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for dietary preferences or budget-friendly alternatives.
