Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots

Sauces and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Others

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced flank steak, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Push the onion and garlic to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Once done, mix the eggs with the sautéed onion and garlic.
  4. Add rice and vegetables: Add the cooked white rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the frozen peas and carrots, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for another 3-4 minutes to allow the rice to warm up and absorb the flavors.
  5. Combine beef and adjust seasoning: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir well to combine all ingredients. Taste the fried rice and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper as needed.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving for a fresh and vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Using day-old rice prevents clumping and helps achieve the best texture for fried rice.
  • You can substitute flank steak with sirloin or any other quick-cooking beef cut.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your preferred saltiness.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a splash of toasted sesame seeds along with the green onion garnish.
  • Make sure to cook the eggs fully to avoid any runny texture in the final dish.
