Step 1
Toss beef with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 3 minced garlic cloves. Let sit 2 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear beef without stirring until caramelized edges form, ~2 minutes per side.
Step 3
Transfer beef to a plate. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 3 garlic cloves and 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, stirring until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 4
Add rice, breaking up clumps, and stir-fry until grains are separate and edges turn golden, ~3 minutes. Drizzle in remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce and toss.
Step 5
Push rice to the sides. Crack eggs into the center. Cover and cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Divide rice and eggs between two plates. Top each with beef tapa and serve with pickled peppers on the side.
