03 - 1 tablespoon mirin or dry sherry
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced

→ Garnish

19 - Sesame seeds

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine steak cubes in a bowl with soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing remaining 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 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan. 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 through.
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. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and extra green onions if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours at a teppanyaki table but takes just thirty-five minutes from start to finish.
  • Everything cooks in one pan, which means less cleanup when you're hungry and tired.
  • The steak stays tender while the rice gets slightly crispy, giving you two textures in every bite.
02 -
  • Day-old rice is absolutely essential; fresh rice will turn to mush because it still holds too much moisture.
  • High heat is your friend here—it's what creates those crispy edges and gets the soy sauce to caramelize slightly.
  • Don't skip the butter step; it's what transforms this from fried rice into something that tastes like you cooked it on an iron griddle.
03 -
  • If you have a wok, use it; the sloped sides make tossing and pushing ingredients around so much easier than a flat skillet.
  • Prep all your vegetables before you start cooking because once the pan gets hot, there's no time to chop.
  • A squeeze of lime juice or a drizzle of yum yum sauce at the table lets people finish it their own way.
