  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste or freshly grated ginger
  • 6 cups cold, day-old Basmati rice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 12 oz mixed frozen vegetables, thawed and drained

Method
 

  1. Now, let’s dive into the cooking process.
Step 1: Marinate the Steak
  1. Start by marinating your steak. In a large bowl, mix honey, Worcestershire glaze, tamari, rice vinegar, chopped garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Place the steak in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Fried Rice
  1. While the steak marinates, heat butter and sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until softened.
  2. This should take around 3-4 minutes. Next, add the minced garlic and ginger paste. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to mingle.
Step 3: Add the Rice
  1. Stir in the cold Basmati rice, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the soy sauce and mix well, ensuring the rice is evenly coated. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until everything is heated through.
Step 4: Incorporate Vegetables and Eggs
  1. Next, add the thawed frozen mixed vegetables. Stir them into the rice, allowing them to warm up. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
  2. Push the rice mix to the side, pour in the eggs, and let them cook for a minute before scrambling them together with the fried rice. Finally, stir in the toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions before removing from heat.
Step 5: Grill the Steak
  1. Preheat your grill to a high temperature. Once hot, place the marinated steak on the grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on personal preference. Remove and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 6: Serve with Yum Yum Sauce
  1. While the steak rests, prepare the yum yum sauce. In a bowl, mix ketchup, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, rice vinegar, and Sriracha. Adjust the salt as necessary.

Notes

  • Prep Ahead: Marinate the steak a few hours earlier for even richer flavors.
  • Use Day-Old Rice: Leftover rice fries better, avoiding a mushy texture.
  • Experiment with Proteins: Try chicken, shrimp, or veggie substitutes like tofu.
  • Proper Heat: Ensure your grill is hot enough to achieve that perfect char.
Customize the Sauce: Feel free to tweak the yum yum sauce to match your taste.
