Ingredients You’ll Need
- For the Steak and Shrimp
- 16 oz ribeye steak, partially frozen and cubed
- 12 colossal shrimp, thawed
- 2 tablespoons SPG blend (salt, pepper, garlic)
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup Bachan’s Original Japanese BBQ sauce
- For the Fried Rice
- 4 cups day old cooked rice
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 bag frozen peas and carrots
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- For the Yum Yum Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
How to Make It
1. Prep the Steak and Shrimp: Cube the partially frozen ribeye into bite-sized pieces – freezing it slightly makes this so much easier! Season the steak with Bachan’s Original sauce and SPG blend. Season the thawed shrimp with Cajun seasoning.
2. Make the Yum Yum Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, water, ketchup, sugar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until smooth and set aside.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat a griddle or large skillet to 450 degrees. Cook the seasoned steak cubes for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from the griddle and set aside.
4. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the hot griddle and cook for 2 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside with the steak.
5. Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and frozen peas and carrots to the griddle. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are tender.
6. Add the Rice: Add the day old rice to the griddle along with the butter. Mix everything together really well, breaking up any clumps of rice. The butter will help everything get nice and crispy.
7. Scramble the Eggs: Push the rice mixture to the sides and crack the eggs into the center of the griddle. Scramble them up, then mix them into the rice until everything is well blended.
8. Serve: Top the fried rice with the cooked steak and shrimp. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with the yum yum sauce on the side. This is surf and turf perfection!
Extra Information
- Day old rice works best for fried rice – it’s drier and doesn’t get mushy. Make rice the day before or spread freshly cooked rice on a baking sheet to cool.
- Partially freezing the steak for about 30 minutes makes it so much easier to cut into perfect cubes.
- SPG blend is just salt, pepper, and garlic – you can make your own or buy it pre-mixed.
- If you don’t have a griddle, a large skillet or wok works great!
- Bachan’s is a Japanese BBQ sauce – if you can’t find it, use teriyaki sauce or soy sauce mixed with a little honey.
