Prepare the Ingredients
Break up the cold rice with your hands. Slice the steak thin across the grain. Beat the eggs and chop all your vegetables before starting. -
Cook the Eggs
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok. Scramble the beaten eggs quickly until just cooked. Remove and set aside. -
Sear the Steak
In the same pan, add a bit more oil and cook the steak slices over high heat until browned but still tender. Remove from the pan. -
Sauté the Veggies
Add onions, garlic, carrots, and peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly soft but still crisp. -
Add the Rice
Add in the rice. Stir everything well, breaking up any clumps. Let the rice get hot and slightly toasted. -
Season and Combine
Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to coat the rice. Then return the eggs and steak to the pan and mix well. -
Final Touches
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with green onions and serve hot!
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best results. Fresh rice is too moist and can turn mushy.
- Leftover steak works great in this recipe! Just reheat it gently to avoid overcooking.
- Want to add spice? Mix in a dash of sriracha or red chili flakes.
- You can add extra veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, or spinach for more nutrition.
- Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce for a low-sodium version.
