Step-by-Step Directions
1. Marinate the Proteins
In two small bowls, prepare the marinade. For the ribeye, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce with 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar. Toss the steak pieces in the mixture, ensuring they’re well coated. For the shrimp, repeat the process with another tablespoon of soy sauce and the remaining brown sugar. Set both aside to allow the flavors to infuse.

3. Cook the Shrimp
In the same pan, add the shrimp, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and curl into a ‘C’ shape. Once cooked, remove the shrimp and set them aside with the steak.
4. Sauté the Vegetables
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Toss in the chopped carrots and onions, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, letting the fragrance fill the kitchen.
5. Scramble the Eggs
Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the other side, scrambling them until fully cooked. Once done, mix the eggs with the vegetables.
6. Combine Everything
Add the day-old cold rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps. Pour in the remaining soy sauce and sugar, stirring to coat the rice evenly. Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the pan, mixing them into the rice and vegetables. Finally, sprinkle the sliced green onions over the dish, stirring everything together until well combined.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Plate the ribeye and shrimp fried rice, and serve it alongside a generous portion of Yum Yum sauce. Enjoy a savory, satisfying meal that’s ready in just 35 minutes!
