Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced thinly
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 eggs
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves completely.
- Slice beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place beef in marinade and let sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature to absorb flavors.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add remaining sesame oil and allow it to get hot.
- Remove beef from marinade, reserving liquid. Pat beef dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
- Cook beef in hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, creating a caramelized exterior. Remove beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add cooked rice. Stir-fry rice for 3-4 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Push rice to one side of skillet. Crack eggs into empty side and scramble until fully cooked.
- Mix scrambled eggs into fried rice. Add reserved marinade and cook for additional 2 minutes.
- Plate fried rice, top with teriyaki beef, and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Beef Teriyaki Tapa with Fried Rice and Egg.
Tips
- Meat Preparation: Always slice beef against the grain and as uniformly as possible to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
- Marinade Magic: Don't rush the marinating process. Letting the beef sit for 15-20 minutes allows deeper flavor penetration.
- Searing Secrets: Pat the beef dry before cooking to achieve that perfect caramelized exterior. Moisture prevents proper browning.
- Wok/Skillet Temperature: Ensure your cooking surface is hot before adding ingredients to get that authentic stir-fry sear.
- Rice Technique: Use day-old cold rice for fried rice to prevent clumping and achieve the ideal texture.
- Egg Pro Tip: For a silky scramble, keep the heat medium and constantly fold the eggs while cooking.
