Cup of Yum
For the rice
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the steak to the pan in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally. You may need to work in batches.
- Remove the steak from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan, along with the onion and carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the vegetables from the pan, then cover with foil to keep warm.
- Pour the remaining teaspoon of oil into the pan; add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Add the rice, steak, cooked veggies and peas to the pan. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil and mix gently until everything is thoroughly combined and warmed through, 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle green onions over the top of the rice mixture, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Long grain, leftover rice works best in this recipe.
- You can use other types of steak such as sirloin, New York strip or rib eye.
