Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb steak, thinly sliced
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by slicing steak into thin strips and seasoning with salt and pepper. Ensure rice is pre-cooked and cooled.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add steak strips and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove steak and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add beaten eggs and scramble quickly, breaking into small pieces. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until eggs are fully set.
- Add mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
- Add cooked rice to the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent sticking. Pour soy sauce over rice and mix thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Return cooked steak to the skillet and gently mix with rice and vegetables, heating everything together for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot, ensuring each serving has a mix of steak, rice, and vegetables.
Tips
- Slice the steak thinly and against the grain to ensure tender, easy-to-eat pieces that cook quickly and evenly.
- Use day-old or cold rice for the best fried rice texture. Fresh, hot rice can become mushy and clump together.
- Get your skillet or wok really hot before adding ingredients to achieve that authentic hibachi-style sear and caramelization.
- Don't overcrowd the pan – cook ingredients in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and prevent steaming instead of frying.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of mirin or rice wine to your soy sauce for a more authentic Japanese taste.
- Let your steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to help retain its juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Feel free to customize your vegetables – bell peppers, zucchini, or bean sprouts can add extra crunch and nutrition.
