For best results, let the steak come to room temperature before seasoning.

Place the seasoned steak on a small baking tray or directly on the toaster oven rack. Cook for 15-25 minutes, depending on desired doneness (medium-rare is about 15-18 minutes, medium 18-22 minutes).

While the steak is cooking, whisk the two eggs in a small bowl. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the whisked eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.

Don't overcook the eggs; they should be just set and fluffy.

Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pan. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the day-old cooked rice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, breaking up any clumps of rice.

Using day-old rice prevents it from becoming mushy when stir-frying.

Return the scrambled eggs to the pan with the fried rice. Add the chopped green onions. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until thoroughly combined and heated through. Remove the steak from the toaster oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve the sliced steak immediately with the hot fried rice.
