01 - 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon mirin (or dry sherry)
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Fried Rice

07 - 3 cups cooked and cooled jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
08 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
09 - 1 small onion, diced
10 - 1 cup carrots, diced
11 - 1 cup zucchini, diced
12 - 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
13 - 1 cup frozen peas
14 - 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
15 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
16 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
17 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
18 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Garnish

19 - Sesame seeds
20 - Additional sliced green onions

# Method:

01 - Combine steak cubes with soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but still tender. Remove steak from pan and set aside.
03 - In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté onion, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms for 4–5 minutes, until just tender.
04 - Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into the cleared space and scramble until just cooked.
05 - Add rice, peas, and cooked steak to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and toss everything together, breaking up any clumps of rice.
06 - Stir in butter and half the green onions. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly crispy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
07 - Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and extra green onions if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan so you are not washing five pans at 8 PM on a Tuesday
  • That restaurant quality flavor comes together in 35 minutes start to finish
  • The steak marinade does double duty building flavor into every single bite
02 -
  • Never skip the cold rice step because I once ruined an entire batch trying to use freshly cooked rice and ended up with sticky paste instead of fried rice
  • Work in batches if your pan is crowded because overcrowding makes everything steam instead of getting that crispy texture you want
03 -
  • Cut your steak against the grain into cubes for the most tender bites that do not toughen up during cooking
  • Have all ingredients prepped and measured before you start because this moves fast once the heat is on
