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.
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.
Step 3
Remove beef to a plate. Add remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp oil to the same skillet.
Step 4
Stir in cooked rice, breaking up clumps, until edges start to crisp and garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Push rice to the side. Crack eggs into the pan and fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Divide rice and eggs between plates. Top with beef, papaya, cucumber, and tomato. Serve immediately.
