  3. Slice the onion into thin strips and set aside. 
  4. Ensure that the rice is day-old; this helps achieve the perfect texture.

Notes

High-Quality Beef:
  • Start with high-quality beef, such as sirloin or ribeye, for a tender and flavorful result. Ensure that the beef is thinly sliced to promote even cooking and quicker preparation.
Use a Cast Iron Skillet:
  • Before adding the beef and vegetables, make sure the cooking surface, whether it's a griddle, skillet, or hot plate, is well preheated. This ensures a quick and even sear on the beef, locking in its juices and enhancing the overall flavor.
Mise en Place:
  • Have all the ingredients ready. This dish comes together quickly.
