Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) steak, thinly sliced (sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 cups cooked and cooled rice (day-old rice works best)
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, divided
- 3 tbsps soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Sear Protein: Caramelize steak slices in butter-coated skillet, developing golden-brown exterior for 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to resting plate, preserving precious cooking juices.
- Egg Preparation: Utilize identical skillet to create soft scrambled eggs, incorporating residual meat essence. Gently fold eggs until fluffy, then remove and set alongside steak.
- Aromatic Foundation: Ignite garlic’s intense fragrance briefly, then introduce frozen vegetable medley. Sauté until vegetables reach vibrant, tender consistency with slight caramelization.
- Rice Transformation: Distribute rice across skillet surface, encouraging crispy golden edges. Manipulate grains carefully to prevent scorching while developing rich textural complexity.
- Flavor Integration: Reunite steak, eggs, and green onions in pan. Cascade soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil across ingredients. Season with salt and black pepper, thoroughly mixing to ensure uniform flavor distribution.
- Final Flourish: Optional red pepper flakes provide subtle heat dimension. Plate immediately, garnishing with fresh green onion ribbons to elevate visual and taste profile.
Notes
- Sear Steak Strategically: Ensure skillet is extremely hot before adding steak to achieve perfect caramelization without overcooking the meat, creating a golden-brown exterior that locks in juicy flavors.
- Manage Rice Texture: Spread rice evenly across pan, allowing minimal stirring to develop crispy golden edges while preventing burning by controlling heat and watching closely during crisping process.
- Egg Technique Matters: Scramble eggs gently and remove from heat when slightly underdone, as they’ll continue cooking when reintroduced to the final dish, maintaining soft, creamy texture.
- Sauce Balance Finesse: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil incrementally, tasting as you go to prevent oversalting and ensure a harmonious blend of umami flavors that complement the steak and rice.
