Instructions

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with soy sauce, olive oil, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes to infuse flavor and tenderize the meat.
Sear the Steak: Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak cubes and sear them for 2–3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove from skillet and set aside to keep warm.
Sauté Garlic in Butter: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Cook the Rice: Increase heat to high and add the chilled cooked rice to the skillet. Toss the rice with the garlic butter, spreading it out evenly in the skillet to allow the rice to crisp slightly on the bottom, enhancing texture.
Add Sauces: Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce over the rice. Mix thoroughly to coat the rice evenly and heat the mixture through.
Combine Steak and Rice: Return the cooked steak cubes to the skillet, toss with the rice, and stir in the chopped green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve: Transfer the garlic butter steak fried rice to a serving bowl or plate and enjoy this savory, aromatic dish immediately.

Notes

Use chilled leftover rice for best texture and to prevent clumping.
Adjust soy sauce and seasoning to your taste preference to control saltiness.
For a spicier twist, add chopped chili or a dash of chili oil during the sauce step.
Make sure not to overcook the steak to keep it tender.
If desired, garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds before serving.
