Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Beef
Prepare the Marinade:
Whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice cooking wine, mirin, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a large Pyrex measuring cup or a medium bowl.
Marinate the Beef:
Pour half of the marinade mixture into a separate medium bowl, add the cut-up steak, and stir to coat. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Heat the Oil:
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
Cook the Beef:
Using tongs, remove the beef from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer with some space between the pieces.
Cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes until browned, then flip and brown the other side.
Remove the beef to a plate and cover to keep warm. Work in batches if necessary, and do not crowd the pan.
Step 3: Prepare the Eggs
Scramble the Eggs:
Carefully wipe the skillet clean with paper towels if needed (wear ovenproof gloves as it will be hot).
Melt a tablespoon of butter over low heat.
Add the beaten eggs and cook scrambled style.
Remove the eggs, place them on a plate, and cover to keep warm.
Step 4: Cook the Vegetables
Sauté the Vegetables:
Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
Remove the veggies from the pan and place them on top of the cooked beef. Cover to keep warm.
Step 5: Fry the Rice
First Batch of Rice:
Cut the scrambled eggs into bite-size pieces and cover to keep warm.
Melt half the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
Add half the rice and cook undisturbed for a minute, then flip and cook for another minute.
Drizzle the rice with half of the sauce mixture that you set aside and cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spoon the fried rice on top of the cut eggs and cover to keep warm.
Second Batch of Rice:
Melt the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat.
Add the remaining rice and the frozen peas, cooking undisturbed for a minute, then flip and cook for another minute.
Drizzle the rice with the remaining sauce mixture and cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6: Combine and Serve
Mix Everything Together:
Return everything to the skillet over medium-low heat and stir to warm through.
