Step 1
Toss beef with soy sauce, brown sugar, and 3 cloves minced garlic in a bowl.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add beef to the skillet in a single layer and sear 2 minutes per side without stirring until edges caramelize.
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.
Step 5
Add rice, breaking up clumps, and stir-fry 3 minutes until each grain is separate and lightly golden.
Step 6
Push rice to the side, crack eggs into the empty space, and fry 3 minutes until whites set but yolks still jiggle.
Step 7
Divide rice and egg between plates, top each with half the beef, and serve immediately.
