Description
Beef fried rice is a stir fry of tender beef, peppers, onions, garlic, and egg tossed in a sweet and savory sauce. This quick and easy one-pan meal is better than takeout!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- ½ medium Onion, diced
- ½ cup Red and yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Beef, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cups Rice, day old cooked and cold
- 2 large Eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions to garnish
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- Saute: Add vegetable oil to a skillet over medium high heat, allow it to heat up for at least one minute. Gently add the diced onion and red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper into the oil and saute for about 1-2 minutes just until they are almost soft. Then add in the minced garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
- Cook Beef: Add your beef directly into the skillet with the vegetables and garlic. Saute the meat for 1-2 minutes just to heat it through.
- Add Rice: Pour the sesame oil into the skillet and let it heat up for about one minute. Pour the day old rice directly into the oil. Use your wooden spoon or spatula to break up any large pieces of rice. Stir it continuously to fully incorporate all of the ingredients.
- Add Eggs: Move the fried rice to one side of the skillet, and crack the two eggs into the vacant side. Use your spatula to scramble the eggs directly in the skillet. Once they are almost cooked through, begin mixing them in with the fried rice.
- Season: Mix all of the ingredients for the sauce for your fried rice. Pour half of the sauce directly into the skillet and mix it together thoroughly. Reserve the remaining to serve with your rice.
- Garnish: Garnish with green onions if desired.
Notes
Use day-old chilled rice to prevent mushiness. A non-stick skillet is recommended for the best results.
