Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz steak, thinly sliced (sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak)
  • 3 cups cooked and cooled rice (day-old rice works best)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak and set aside.
  2. Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet, push the steak juices to one side and add the beaten eggs. Scramble them until just set, then mix with any remaining steak juices. Remove and set aside with the steak.
  3. Sauté vegetables and garlic: Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the frozen vegetables and sauté for 3–4 minutes until heated through.
  4. Fry the rice: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter, then stir in the rice, breaking up clumps. Let the rice fry undisturbed for 1–2 minutes to develop a slight crisp.
  5. Combine everything: Add the steak, scrambled eggs, and green onions back to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  6. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, if desired. Serve hot and garnish with additional green onions if you like.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak in soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil for 15–30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use jasmine or long-grain rice for the best texture in fried rice.
  • Substitute shrimp or chicken for the steak if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
