Ingredients
  

Proteins and Base
  • 2 beef steaks cubed
  • 12 large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 eggs beaten
Vegetables
  • 1 cup zucchini sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot sliced
  • 0.5 cup mushrooms sliced
Seasonings and Fats
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Serving
  • 0.5 cup creamy yum yum sauce

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat both the steak cubes and shrimp completely dry with paper towels before seasoning. This helps them develop a beautiful golden crust when they hit the pan. Divide the paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper between the two proteins, seasoning them separately to ensure each gets the right amount for its size.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until it's smoking slightly. High heat creates that restaurant-quality caramelization. Add the seasoned steak cubes and let them sit undisturbed for about 2 minutes per side. Once the steak is browned on all sides and cooked to your preferred doneness, transfer it to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add your minced garlic, letting it bloom for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside with the steak.
  4. Keep the skillet on medium-high heat and add the broccoli, zucchini, carrot, and mushrooms. Stir-fry these for about 4 to 5 minutes until they're tender-crisp but still have a little crunch. The vegetables should maintain their color and texture for the best presentation.
  5. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add another tablespoon of butter. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just cooked through, then mix with the vegetables. Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with the back of your spatula. Pour the soy sauce over everything and toss until the rice is evenly coated and heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Place a portion of the fried rice in the center of a serving plate, mounding it slightly for height and presentation. Arrange the seared steak cubes on one side and the garlic butter shrimp on the other. Serve the creamy yum yum sauce in a small ramekin on the side for dipping.

Notes

Day-old rice works best for fried rice because it's less sticky and creates better texture. Pat proteins completely dry before cooking to ensure proper browning. You can swap vegetables based on what you have on hand, and adjust seasonings to your preference.
