Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 1 cup uncooked white long grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon honey (can substitute brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

Stir Fry

  • ¾ lb. strip steak (or skirt, flank, or sirloin steak)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 eggs, whisked well
  • 1–2 tablespoons peanut oil (can substitute olive or canola oil)
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • ¾ cup frozen peas
  • ¾ cup frozen carrots
  • 3–4 green onions, diced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked rice with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Steak: Slice the strip steak thinly against the grain. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Pour in whisked eggs and stir gently until just set but still soft. Remove the eggs and set aside with the steak.
  5. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Add remaining peanut oil to the skillet. Sauté minced garlic and diced onion until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then add frozen peas and carrots, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  6. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let the wine reduce slightly for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add the cooked rice and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss well and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes to allow flavors to blend and rice to get slightly crispy.
  8. Finish and Serve: Stir in diced green onions. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot as a delicious and complete meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use day-old cooked rice to prevent clumping and to achieve a better texture.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your spice preference.
  • Sesame oil is optional but adds a nice nutty flavor to the dish.
  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to make the dish slightly lighter.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free recipe, use gluten-free soy sauce.
