Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye), sliced into bite-size strips
  • 1/2 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups cooked long-grain white or jasmine rice (preferably chilled)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, bell peppers, green onions)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 23 tbsp chicken or beef broth (or water)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, chopped cilantro, lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Season steak with salt and pepper, sear until browned but slightly pink inside, then set aside.
  3. Sauté shrimp in the same pan until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with steak.
  4. Add more oil if needed, then stir-fry garlic and vegetables for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Push veggies to the side, pour in beaten eggs, scramble until just set, then mix with vegetables.
  6. Add chilled rice, tossing to combine thoroughly with veggies and eggs.
  7. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and a splash of broth. Stir-fry until rice is heated through and evenly coated.
  8. Return steak and shrimp to the pan. Toss everything together until reheated and well mixed.
  9. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes. Garnish as desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use day-old, chilled rice to prevent sticking and ensure fluffy texture.
  • Swap steak or shrimp for tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version.
  • Add sriracha or chili for a spicy variation.
  • Enhance with hoisin, fish sauce, or a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Top with chopped peanuts or cashews for crunch.
