Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), diced
- 2 eggs, beaten
Carbohydrates and Base:
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
Flavor Enhancers and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter and olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers with a golden glow.
- Introduce diced steak to the hot pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and sear quickly for 2-3 minutes until a rich caramel crust forms. Transfer to a waiting plate.
- In the same skillet, bloom minced garlic until its aromatic essence fills the kitchen. Create a clearing and pour beaten eggs, gently scrambling them into soft, billowy curds.
- Introduce another pat of butter, then fold in rice, carefully breaking apart any stubborn clusters to ensure even heating.
- Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil across the rice, stirring thoroughly to distribute the deep umami flavors.
- Tumble vibrant peas and carrots into the mixture, continuing to cook for an additional 2 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Reintroduce the seared steak to the skillet, stirring to warm through and meld the flavors for one final minute.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions over the top for a bright, crisp finish before serving piping hot directly from the pan.
Notes
- Customize meat doneness by adjusting searing time, ensuring perfect tenderness for individual preferences.
- Choose high-quality, day-old rice to prevent mushy texture and achieve crispy, separated grains during stir-frying.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives like tamari sauce instead of traditional soy sauce for sensitive diets.
- Enhance protein variations by substituting steak with chicken, tofu, or shrimp for diverse meal options.
