Onion Beef Fried Rice
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 lb Ground beef or thinly sliced steak 🥩
- 3 cups Cooked rice (day-old rice works best!) 🍚
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced 🧅
- 1 cup Peas and carrots 🥕🫛
- 2 Green onions, sliced 🥬
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce 🍶
- 1 tbsp Oyster sauce 🦪
- 1 tsp Sesame oil 🌀
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten 🥚
👩🍳 Instructions
- Sear the Protein: Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat with a splash of oil. Add the beef and cook until browned and slightly crispy. 🥩🔥🥇
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced yellow onions to the pan. Cook until they are soft, translucent, and just starting to caramelize. 🧅🌪️✨
- Vibrant Veggies: Stir in the peas and carrots. Cook for 2–3 minutes until tender. 🥕🫛🤝
- The Rice Toss: Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any large clumps. Toss everything together to ensure the beef and onions are evenly distributed as seen in the scoop! 🍚🤝💎
- The Sauce Secret: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir constantly so every grain of rice is coated in that savory, brown sauce. 🍶🌊🙌
- Scramble: Push the rice to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble until set, then fold them into the rest of the dish. 🥚🍳🌀
- Final Flourish: Top with sliced green onions for a fresh pop of color and extra flavor! 🥬🎨✨
- Serve: Grab a big spoon and dive into this hot, savory bowl of perfection! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Texture” Secret: As shown in the photo, using day-old chilled rice prevents the dish from becoming mushy and gives you those distinct, perfectly fried grains! 🍚🛡️💎
- The “Beef” Hack: If using ground beef, drain the excess fat after browning to keep your fried rice light and non-greasy. 🥩🎯✅
