Method
 

Step 1:
  1. I start by cooking the brown rice and quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, I fluff them with a fork and keep them warm.

Step 2:
  1. In a mixing bowl, I whisk together chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, tamari, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Then I add brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and white pepper. I stir until the sugar dissolves and set it aside.

Step 3:
  1. I heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. I season the steak lightly with salt and pepper, then sear it for about 3–5 minutes per side. After cooking, I let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 4:
  1. While the steak rests, I wash and slice all the vegetables so everything is ready to go.

Step 5:
  1. Using the same skillet, I add a bit more oil and sauté the garlic and red onion for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then I add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 6:
  1. I add the cooked rice and quinoa to the skillet, pour in 2–3 tablespoons of the sauce, and gently toss everything together. I let it cook for 1–2 minutes so the flavors combine.

Notes

I always let the steak rest before slicing — it keeps it juicy. If I want a lighter bowl, I reduce the rice a bit and add extra veggies. This recipe also works great for meal prep if everything is stored separately.
