Beef steak fried rice

Today, I had some leftover rice, ideal for making fried rice. The husband loves beef and beef fried rice would please him greatly. There was only one problem. The only beef we had in the fridge was a piece of good quality striploin. Wouldn't the beef be overcooked by all the stir-frying? That would definitely be a waste. Hence, the method for this beef steak fried rice was carefully considered so that the beef still retained its quality.


Ingredients:
- 2 and half cup of leftover rice 
- 250g striploin steak 
- 3 eggs
- 1 thumb-size salted fish, shredded 
- 1 thumb-size ginger, shredded 
- a few stalks of spring onions 
- vegetable oil, sesame oil, light soya sauce, pepper, 3 cloves of garlic, sugar

Procedures:
1) Marinate beef steak with 2 tablespoons of light soya sauce, pepper and 3 cloves of garlic (crushed) for at least 3 hours. 
2) Heat the pan with vegetable oil. Place the beef steak in the pan. Fry it for 1 minute before flipping over to the other side. Fry for another 1 minutes. Remove it from heat and let it rest. 
3) To the same pan, add sesame oil. Add shredded ginger and stir fry until crispy. 
4) Add shredded salted fish and stir fry slightly. Add rice and stir fry for a while. 
5) Beat 3 eggs. Make a well in the middle of the fried rice. Add eggs to the well and stir it into the fried rice until the rice is coated with egg.
6) Add 1 tablespoon of light soya sauce and 1 teaspoon of sugar. 
7) Cut the beef steak into bite-size. Stir it with the fried rice. Serve.
