Ingredients

Instructions

1

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, calamansi juice, brown sugar, oyster sauce, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.

2

Add the sliced beef to the marinade, mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).

3

Heat 2 tablespoons cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until golden brown and fragrant.

5

Add the cooked rice to the skillet with garlic, stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until well combined and heated through. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.

6

In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook sunny side up until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

7

To assemble, place garlic fried rice on a plate, top with beef tapa and a fried egg. Serve with sliced tomatoes and cucumber on the side, if desired.
