Mix well to incorporate sauce into rice. Allow any water that is in the pot to evaporate as you will be frying the rice. Fry uncooked rice for 4 minutes stirring periodically to ensure it does not stick or burn.
- Add enough hot water to cover the rice and allow it to steam.
- Place rice into foil pan and allow to cool.
Crab:

Steak:
- Season steak with salt and black pepper.
- Place a cast iron skillet on high heat and preheat until it is very hot. Then add olive oil.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 4-5 mins on each side.
- Add butter, garlic, and thyme to the skillet.
- Tilt the skillet then spoon the foaming butter onto the steak, baste each side until your desired cooking. (*If you like your steak rare cook for less time, if you like it well done cook for longer).
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and pour over the butter. Allow the steak to rest for at least 10 minutes then serve with crab fried rice.
