# Instructions:
01 -
Chop up the onion, slice the carrot and zucchini, and mince the garlic. Set them aside for later. Mix the mirin (or sake), soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper together in a small bowl for the steak sauce. In a separate dish, stir together ketchup, mayo, soy sauce, sugar, paprika, and rice vinegar for the yum yum drizzle. Keep both sauces close at hand.
02 -
Sprinkle both sides of your ribeyes generously with salt and pepper, then let them sit until it's time to cook.
03 -
Heat oil on your hot skillet or griddle. Break the eggs and scramble them lightly, pulling them off the heat when almost done. Add the cooled rice, breaking up any chunks as you mix. Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper while tossing the rice around. If it's too dry, steam it by splashing in a little water. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Once ready, push it to one side to keep warm.
04 -
Drizzle more oil on the griddle, then toss in the onion and garlic. Sauté for a minute to release their fragrance. Mix in the carrot and zucchini next, adding a little soy sauce while stirring. After 2-3 minutes, when everything still slightly crunches, move the veggies to the side.
05 -
Cover the griddle with a thin layer of oil and lay down the steaks. Sear them for about 3 minutes on each side (or longer if they're thick). After flipping the steaks, pour part of the sauce over the top and keep cooking until done to your taste. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes after removing them.
06 -
Cut the rested steaks into strips and toss the slices back on the griddle. Pour in the leftover steak sauce, keeping the heat low or turning it off completely, depending on how steamy you'd like the sauce to get.
07 -
Pour some of the yum yum sauce on the fried rice, saving extra on the side for dipping everything. Scatter chopped green onions as a finishing touch. Dish up the sliced steak, veggies, and rice together, and enjoy!
