Directions

Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce

1. Marinate the Steak: In a ziploc bag, marinate the flank steak with 3/4 cup of teriyaki sauce. Place the bag in the freezer to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Prepare the Fried Rice

2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Cook the Egg: Lightly oil a skillet over medium heat. Whisk the egg, cook until set, then cut into small pieces.
4. Stir-Fry the Rice: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add the cooked and dried rice, cooking for about 3 minutes and stirring occasionally.
5. Season the Rice: In a separate dish, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper. Whisk this mixture and pour it over the rice, mixing well.
6. Add Veggies: Stir in the steamed veggies (peas and carrots) with the rice.

Cook the Steak

7. Slice and Cook the Steak: Remove the marinated flank steak from the freezer and slice it thinly. Cook the slices in a hot skillet until browned.

Assemble the Casserole

8. Combine Ingredients: In a baking dish, combine the fried rice, veggies, cooked steak slices, and the cooked egg pieces.
9. Add Teriyaki Sauce: Drizzle more teriyaki sauce over the mixture and toss everything together to ensure even distribution.
