Delicious Beef Fried Rice Recipe - Quick & Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 cups cooked rice (Use day-old rice for best results.)
  • 1 cup beef (thinly sliced) (Sirloin or flank steak works well.)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (Carrots, peas, and corn are ideal.)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (Use low-sodium if preferred.)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (For frying.)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 eggs large (Beaten.)
  • 2 green onions chopped (For garnish.)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and ensure the rice is cold.

    Day-old rice prevents clumping.
  2. Cook the Beef

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  3. Add Garlic and Vegetables

    Add minced garlic and mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender.

    Keep the heat high for a better stir-fry.
  4. Scramble the Eggs

    Push the ingredients to the side of the pan. Add beaten eggs and scramble until cooked.

    Mix everything together after the eggs are cooked.
  5. Combine Rice and Season

    Add cooked rice and soy sauce to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

    Adjust soy sauce to taste.
  6. Finish and Serve

    Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.

    Serve immediately for the best flavor.
