Ingredients

  • 300g (10 oz) rump beef steak (US: top sirloin)
  • 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 3/8 tsp baking soda (bi-carbonate soda, about a heaped 1/4 tsp)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp canola or peanut oil (divided)
  • 4 green onion stems, cut into 1.25 cm (1/2″) lengths, white and green parts separated
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 520g (1 lb / 4 cups) cooked, day-old long grain white rice (or other plain rice), refrigerated overnight
  • 200g (7 oz) green beans, cut into 1.25 cm pieces (~2 heaped cups)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper (preferably white, black is fine)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Marinate the beef by combining dark soy sauce, 2 tsp oyster sauce, water, 1 garlic clove (minced), sugar, and baking soda in a bowl. Add the beef, toss well, and set aside for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the fish sauce, 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1/2 tsp sugar to make the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together the eggs, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set this scrambled egg mixture aside.
  4. Step 4: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 2 minutes until the surface is sealed.
  5. Step 5: Add the finely minced garlic, the white parts of the green onions, and the green beans. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly until the beef is caramelised but not burnt.
  6. Step 6: Add the day-old rice and the prepared sauce. Toss and stir continuously for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the rice becomes slightly toasty.
  7. Step 7: Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the empty space, pour in the egg mixture, and let it sit for about 10 seconds. Gently scramble the eggs with your spatula until soft and mostly cooked.
  8. Step 8: Quickly but gently combine the scrambled egg with the rice, then add the green parts of the green onions. Toss everything together once more.
  9. Step 9: Divide the sizzling beef fried rice between bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Use day-old rice refrigerated overnight for the best texture; fresh rice can be too soft and sticky.
  • Substitute green beans with snap peas or asparagus for a different crunch and flavor.
  • Add chili flakes or fresh sliced chilies for a spicy kick if you like heat.
  • Use a large non-stick pan rather than a wok to achieve better searing and avoid burning.
  • Marinate the beef overnight to deepen the flavor and tenderize the meat further.

Storage

Store leftover fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over medium heat, adding a splash of water or oil to prevent sticking and to refresh the rice. Avoid reheating multiple times for best quality and safety.

How to Serve

In a white bowl, there is one layer of fried rice with small, separate grains colored light brown from seasoning, mixed evenly with medium-sized, dark brown pieces of cooked beef, bright green chopped vegetables scattered throughout, and small bits of scrambled yellow egg. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface with a deep blue cloth partially underneath, giving contrast to the warm colors of the dish. In the background, the edge of another white bowl with the same fried rice is partially visible, slightly blurred. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other cuts of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can use similar tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak. Avoid tougher cuts unless thinly sliced and well marinated.

Why is day-old rice recommended?

Day-old rice is drier and less sticky, which helps it fry better and prevents the dish from becoming mushy.

Description

Sizzling Beef Steak Fried Rice is a flavorful and hearty dish that combines tender marinated rump beef with crisp green beans, fragrant garlic, and day-old rice stir-fried together in a savory oyster and soy sauce blend, finished with fluffy scrambled eggs and fresh green onions for a satisfying meal with Asian flair.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Marinade

  • 300g (10 oz) rump beef steak (US: top sirloin)
  • 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp sugar (any)
  • 3/8 tsp baking soda (bi-carbonate soda, 1/4 tsp heaped)

Stir-Fry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tbsp canola or peanut oil (separated)
  • 4 green onion stems, cut into 1.25 cm (1/2″) lengths (white part separated from green part)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 520g (1 lb / 4 cups) cooked day-old long grain white rice (or other plain rice), refrigerated overnight
  • 200g (7 oz) green beans, cut into 1.25 cm pieces (~2 heaped cups)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (any type)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper (preferably white, black ok)

Instructions

  1. Marinate & Tenderise Beef: In a bowl, combine dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, garlic clove, sugar, and baking soda. Add the rump beef steak and toss well to coat. Set aside for at least 1 hour (up to 24 hours) to tenderize and infuse flavor.
  2. Prepare Sauce: Mix fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small bowl. Set this sauce mixture aside for later use.
  3. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs along with sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside for scrambling.
  4. Sizzle Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of canola or peanut oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 2 minutes until the surface is sealed and beginning to caramelize. Add the finely minced garlic, white parts of the green onions, and green beans. Stir constantly and cook for 1 more minute until the beef is fully caramelized and vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
  5. Add Rice & Sauce: Add the cold, day-old cooked rice and the prepared sauce to the pan. Toss continuously for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to ensure the rice gets toasted and evenly coated with the sauce.
  6. Scramble Egg: Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the empty side and spread it evenly. Pour in the whisked eggs, swirl the pan to spread them thinly, and allow to partially set for about 10 seconds. Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs softly until mostly cooked. Quickly combine the scrambled eggs with the rice mixture by gentle tossing.
  7. Finish & Serve: Add the green parts of the green onions to the pan and toss through the fried rice to combine. Divide the sizzling beef steak fried rice among serving bowls and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • The baking soda in the marinade tenderizes the beef by breaking down protein fibers but should be used sparingly to avoid a soapy taste.
  • The recipes recommend using day-old cooked rice refrigerated overnight because it fries better without clumping.
  • The pan size suggested is a large non-stick pan approximately 30 cm (12″) for optimal results; using a wok is not preferred here to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  • Using separate parts of green onion (white for cooking, green for finishing) adds layers of flavor and freshness.
  • The sugar balances the savory and umami flavors from soy and oyster sauces.
  • Cooking on high heat and constant tossing prevents sticking and enhances caramelization for authentic fried rice texture and flavor.
