- 3 cups cooked rice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 lb beef slices in a single layer; cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove beef and set aside.

In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and 3 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Return beef to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir and cook until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.

In a separate large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 beaten eggs; scramble until just set, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups cooked rice and 2 sliced green onions; stir-fry until rice is hot and slightly toasted, about 3-4 minutes.
