Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix beef with 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown beef slices 2-3 minutes per side without stirring until caramelized.

  3. Step 3

    Remove beef to a plate. Add remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp oil to the same skillet.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in cooked rice, breaking up clumps, until edges start to crisp and garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Push rice to the side. Crack eggs into the pan and fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice and eggs between plates. Top with beef, papaya, cucumber, and tomato. Serve immediately.
