Chop up the onion, carrot, and zucchini, and finely mince the garlic. Keep them separated for now. Stir together the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin (or sake), sugar, and black pepper in a bowl for the steak sauce—set aside. Whisk the mayo, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, and paprika into a smooth mix in another small dish—also set aside.

Take the ribeye steak cuts and generously sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Don’t overthink it, you just need enough to coat them! Let them rest a bit.

Warm up a large pan or griddle over medium-high, tossing in some oil first. Scramble your eggs until they’re nearly cooked, then toss in the cold rice. Break up rice clumps using a spatula and stir through the sesame oil, soy sauce, and pepper. Add a splash of water if steaming is needed. Stir regularly for 5-6 minutes till the rice is heated through. Push it to one side or slide it onto a plate for later.

Drizzle some oil onto the same pan. First, toss in the garlic and onion, giving them about a minute to become fragrant. Add the zucchini and carrots next, splash in the soy sauce, and stir every so often. Avoid overcooking—3 minutes should leave the veggies with some crunch. Slide them off to the side.

Drop a little more oil onto the griddle and cook the steaks for around 3-4 minutes per side. Pour half of the prepared steak sauce on the steaks after flipping. Cook them to your preferred finish, then carefully pull them off the heat and give them 10 minutes to sit.

Once the steaks are rested, slice them into strips. Warm them back on the griddle with the leftover steak sauce poured on. You can keep the heat super low if needed.

Dollop the yum yum sauce on the fried rice or serve it on the side for dipping. Scatter fresh green onions for some flair. Bring everything to the table—steak slices, veggies, and fried rice—ready to enjoy together.
