How to Make Beef Fried Rice

Step 1 – In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium high heat. Add in the eggs and scramble them until they are fully cooked. Remove them from the pan to a separate plate. 

Step 2 – Add the remaining oil to the same pan and heat over medium high heat.  Add in the diced flank steak and cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until the outside of the steak is seared and the steak is cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan to a separate plate. 

Step 3 – Add the frozen peas and carrots blend to the pan and sauté for approximately 2 minutes on medium high heat until tender and slightly browned.  Add in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until you can smell the garlic.  

Step 4 – Stir in the cooked and cooled rice.  Break it up with a spatula and cook it in the skillet for 3-5 minutes until the rice starts to brown slightly.  

Step 5 – Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil on top of the rice and mix it into the rice.

Step 6 – Add the steak and eggs back to the pan and gently stir it into the rice mixture. Let it cook for a minute to heat through. Serve warm topped with the green onions and sesame seeds.  Enjoy!  

Recipe Tips

• Leftover Rice – I find that it’s best to use leftover rice for this recipe. Make sure that the rice is cold as it’s easier to sauté on the skillet when it’s cold.
• Cooking Meat – To ensure that the meat is fully cooked, cook separately in the skillet prior to adding in the other ingredients.
• Leftover Meat – This is a great recipe to use leftover steak which makes this recipe even easier. Fried Rice is my go-to meal when I have leftover meat and veggies.

Variations Ideas

• Low Carb – Make this beef fried rice with Cauliflower Rice for a low carb variation.
• Veggies – Feel free to make this beef fried rice with other types of vegetables such as shredded zucchini, mushrooms, cabbage or chopped broccoli.
