Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss beef with soy sauce, brown sugar, and 3 cloves minced garlic in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add beef to the skillet in a single layer and sear 2 minutes per side without stirring until edges caramelize.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer beef to a plate. Add 2 tbsp oil and remaining 3 cloves garlic to the same skillet, stir 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Add rice, breaking up clumps, and stir-fry 3 minutes until each grain is separate and lightly golden.

  6. Step 6

    Push rice to the side, crack eggs into the empty space, and fry 3 minutes until whites set but yolks still jiggle.

  7. Step 7

    Divide rice and egg between plates, top each with half the beef, and serve immediately.
