Step 1
Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
If rice is clumpy, break apart with your fingers so grains separate easily.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 4
Add beef in a single layer. Let sit 90 seconds without stirring until edges brown.
Step 5
Stir beef and cook 1 more minute until no pink remains. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Add remaining 2 tbsp oil to skillet. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Add rice and break up clumps with a spoon while stirring constantly, ~3 minutes.
Step 8
Drizzle fish sauce and soy sauce over rice. Toss until evenly coated, ~1 minute.
