Delicious Shrimp and Steak Fried Rice (Print version)

Tender steak, juicy shrimp, eggs, vegetables, and day-old rice stir-fried into a hearty one-pan dinner.

# Ingredients:

For the steak and shrimp

01 - 10 oz (285 g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-size pieces
02 - 12 oz (340 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
03 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
04 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
05 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
07 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided

For the fried rice

08 - 4 cups (620 g) cooked day-old jasmine rice, chilled
09 - 3 large eggs, beaten
10 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
11 - 1 cup (140 g) frozen peas and carrots
12 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
14 - 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
15 - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
16 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
17 - 3 scallions, thinly sliced

# Instructions:

01 - Break the chilled rice apart with your fingers so there are no hard clumps. Keep it nearby before the pan gets hot.
02 - Toss the steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat the shrimp dry and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring once or twice, until browned. Transfer to a plate.
04 - Add the shrimp to the same pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Transfer to the plate with the steak.
05 - Add 1 teaspoon oil if the pan looks dry. Pour in the eggs and stir until soft curds form, about 45 seconds. Move the eggs to the same plate.
06 - Add the remaining oil, onion, peas, and carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add the rice and press it into the pan for 2 minutes before tossing.
07 - Stir in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Return the steak, shrimp, and eggs to the pan. Toss until hot, then finish with scallions and serve right away.

# Good to know:

01 - Cold day-old rice gives the best fried rice texture.
02 - Cook steak and shrimp separately so neither overcooks.
03 - Best served hot from the skillet.
