Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin steak
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ cup pickled vegetables

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 2 potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the beef with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 minced garlic cloves; let marinate for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove beef from skillet.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and the boiled potatoes. Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the 1 cup frozen peas and 1 tbsp soy sauce to the skillet. Cook until peas are heated through, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Return the beef to the skillet and toss everything together for 1 minute until well combined and hot.

  7. 7

    Serve the beef and vegetables over the 2 cups cooked rice, with the 0.5 cup pickled vegetables on the side.
