Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 1½ lbs NY Strip Steak
- 2 tbs low sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 tbs sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger paste
- 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbs honey (optional)
Fried Rice
- 6 cups cooked and cooled Basmati rice
- 2 tbs sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 eggs
- 12 oz bag frozen vegetables, thawed
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbs butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger paste
- 1 tbs sesame seeds
Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbs Sriracha
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, Worcestershire sauce, and honey if using. This mixture will tenderize and flavor the NY Strip steak.
- Marinate the Steak: Coat the NY Strip steak with the marinade and let it rest while you prepare the fried rice, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a griddle or two large pans on high heat for about 4 minutes to ensure they’re hot enough for searing the steak and frying the rice.
- Cook Fried Rice: Add sesame oil to the hot pan(s). Stir in the cooked and cooled Basmati rice, diced onion, and cracked eggs. Stir and toss continuously for about 3 minutes to cook the eggs through and combine ingredients evenly.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Mix in the thawed frozen vegetables, then add the low sodium soy sauce, butter, minced garlic, ginger paste, and sesame seeds. Continue cooking for 5 minutes until a golden brown crust forms on the fried rice, indicating a perfect hibachi-style finish.
- Cook the Steak: Using the heated griddle or pan(s), sear the marinated NY Strip steak to your desired doneness. Typically, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on steak thickness.
- Prepare the Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, Sriracha, and salt together in a small bowl to create a spicy, creamy sauce that complements the steak and rice.
- Serve: Slice the cooked steak against the grain and plate alongside generous servings of the golden fried rice. Drizzle or serve the spicy sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use cooked and thoroughly cooled rice to prevent clumping and achieve a better fried rice texture.
- For more authentic flavor, use sesame oil, but olive oil is a good substitute.
- Adjust the honey quantity or omit it to control sweetness in the steak marinade.
- Vegetables can be customized to your preference, fresh or frozen both work well.
- Make sure to preheat the pan thoroughly for proper searing and crispy fried rice.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices before slicing.
