  • 225g of steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

For the Sauce (Pre-Mixed):

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp of dark soy sauce
  • 1½ tbsp oyster sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • ? tsp MSG (optional, or to taste)

For the Fried Rice:

  • Marinated steak (from above)
  • 2 cups cold, cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped (separate white and green parts)
  • 1 tbsp oil (for searing steak)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak:
    In a bowl, combine steak cubes with light soy sauce, baking soda, sugar, cornstarch, cracked black pepper, and sesame oil. Mix well and marinate for 20–60 minutes.
  2. Sear the Steak:
    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a hot wok or skillet over high heat. Sear the marinated steak until browned and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics & Scramble Eggs:
    In the same pan, lower heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, shallots, and the white parts of the green onion. Sauté for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
    Pour in beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set. Push to one side of the pan.
  4. Add Veggies & Rice:
    Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
    Then add the cold rice. Break up any clumps and stir-fry everything together over high heat for 2–3 minutes until well combined and rice is slightly toasted.
  5. Add Green Onion, Steak & Sauce:
    Add the green parts of the green onion, followed by the cooked steak and the pre-mixed black pepper sauce. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Finish:
    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with extra soy sauce or cracked black pepper. Serve hot.
