Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Spread rice in an even layer and press gently. Cook without stirring for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy on the bottom.
Step 3
Push rice to the side. Add beef and onion to the empty space, sear until beef is browned and onions are charred, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Toss everything together. Drizzle fish sauce and lime juice over top, toss again until the pan smells aromatic and fragrant.
Step 5
Divide between bowls and top with sliced scallion. Serve hot.
