Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 8 oz flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain

Rice

  • 3 cups cooked day-old rice

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

Aromatics & Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chili flakes, for heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside while you prepare other ingredients.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Scramble the beaten eggs until just cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry the Veggies: Add remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add carrots and peas, stirring for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Cook the Steak: Push the veggies to one side of the pan. Add steak slices to the hot pan and sear for 2-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  5. Combine Rice and Flavors: Add day-old cooked rice and scrambled eggs back to the pan. Pour in soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil. Stir well to combine and heat through evenly.
  6. Final Touches: Stir in sliced green onions. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes as desired. Remove from heat and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for firmer texture and less clumping.
  • Cook on high heat to achieve good caramelization and faster cooking.
  • Slice steak thinly for quick cooking and tenderness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
  • Taste and season gradually to balance flavors perfectly.
