Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb steak, diced
- 2 eggs
Base:
- 2 cups cooked rice
Seasonings and Additions:
- 4 tablespoons garlic butter
- 1 cup mixed vegetables
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of garlic butter in a large skillet at medium heat, creating a golden cooking surface.
- Sear the diced steak for 3-4 minutes until deep brown and caramelized around the edges.
- Transfer the steak to a clean plate, keeping those delicious juices intact.
- Toss the mixed vegetables into the same pan, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until they’re crisp and vibrant.
- Slide the vegetables to one side of the skillet, then crack 2 whole eggs directly into the open space.
- Quickly scramble the eggs with a spatula, breaking them into small, soft curds.
- Pour the 2 cups of cooked rice into the pan, drizzling 2 tablespoons of soy sauce across the surface.
- Mix everything together, ensuring each grain of rice gets coated with the savory sauce and vegetables.
- Return the seared steak to the skillet, folding it gently into the rice mixture.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of garlic butter over the dish for extra richness.
- Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper across the top for a warm, spicy kick.
- Garnish with finely chopped green onions, adding a fresh, sharp finish to your meal.
Notes
- Use leftover rice for the best texture and to prevent clumping during stir-frying.
- Choose a high-heat cooking oil like avocado or peanut oil to prevent burning and help achieve a crispy rice bottom.
- Cut steak into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and quick browning.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce with tamari and use certified gluten-free rice.
