Ingredients You’ll Need

Main Ingredients:

  • Steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)

  • Cooked rice (preferably day-old, jasmine or long-grain)

  • Eggs

  • Mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers, green onions)

Choosing the Right Steak and Rice

  • Steak: Tender cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or flank are best for a quick stir-fry. Slice thinly against the grain to keep the beef juicy.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

  • Slice steak thinly against the grain.
    In a mixing bowl, combine steak with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and black pepper. Marinate briefly (10–15 minutes).

Step 2: Prepare Rice and Vegetables

  • Ensure rice grains are separated.
    Dice vegetables uniformly for even cooking.

  • Add eggs to the hot pan and scramble lightly. Remove and set aside.

  • Add garlic and onion, stir-fry briefly until fragrant.
    Add vegetables and toss for 1–2 minutes.
    Add rice gradually, stirring to combine.
    Pour in soy and oyster sauce gradually for even coating.

  • Return cooked steak and scrambled eggs to the pan.
    Toss everything together on high heat for 1–2 minutes.
    Drizzle with sesame oil.

Notes

  • Best Rice: Day-old rice prevents clumping and ensures a dry, fluffy texture.
  • Beef Tips: Slice against the grain for tenderness. Brief marinade boosts flavor.
  • Vegetables: Keep them crisp by stir-frying quickly on high heat.
  • Sauce: Add gradually to avoid over-salting.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2–3 days. Reheat in a skillet to restore texture. Freeze portions up to 1 month.
