Quick and Easy Beef Fried Rice Recipe – A Flavorful One-Pan Meal

Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old and chilled)
1/2 lb beef steak (sirloin or flank), thinly sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce (divided)
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 green onions, sliced
2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Marinate the Beef:
In a small bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Cook the Beef:
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and just cooked through (about 2-3 minutes). Remove the beef and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent.
Add the peas and carrots, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.

Scramble the Eggs:
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until just set.

Combine Ingredients:
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.

Finish and Garnish:
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed. Stir in the sliced green onions.

Serve:
Serve the beef fried rice hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
