beef fried rice

Beef fried rice is definitely one of our favorite items on your average Chinese takeout menu. Find out how to make an easy &amp; better beef fried rice at home!

Classic Beef Fried Rice

flank steak ((285 grams, cut into bite-sized pieces))

salt

water

baking soda

soy sauce ((mushroom flavored preferred))

cornstarch

sugar

sesame oil

soy sauce

½ teaspoon MSG ((totally optional!))

white pepper

rice

canola oil ((divided))

eggs ((beaten))

onion

peas

scallion ((chopped))

Shaoxing wine

First, combine the beef, salt, water, baking soda, dark soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil in a bowl and stir until well-incorporated. Set aside. (We added a bit of water to marinate the beef, which generally is a no-no for beef...but for this fried rice dish, it keeps the small morsels of beef juicy and tender!)

Next, combine the hot water, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauces, MSG (if using), and white pepper in a small bowl. This is the sauce that you’ll be adding to the rice, and it’s much easier to have it combined and ready to go before you start cooking.

Take your cooked rice and fluff it with a fork or with your hands (you can rinse your hands in cold water if the rice starts sticking to them). If you are using cold leftover rice, try to break up the clumps as best as possible.

Heat your wok over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil and the eggs, and scramble them until just cooked. You can start scooping them up when they look like they are almost done. Transfer them back into the same bowl you mixed them in and set aside. They will continue to cook in the bowl and you will cook them again in the rice.

Heat the wok until just smoking and spread 1 tablespoon oil around your wok. Add the marinated beef in one layer, and let sear for 20 seconds. Next, stir fry the beef until about 70% done. Transfer the beef back to the marinade bowl, and set aside.

With the wok over medium high heat, add the last tablespoon of oil, and sauté the onions until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, using a metal spatula to flatten out and break up any large clumps. If the rice is cold from the refrigerator, continue stir-frying until the rice is warmed up, about 5 minutes. Also, sprinkling a little water on large clumps of rice will help break them up more easily.

Once the rice is warmed through, add the sauce mixture. Stir the rice with a scooping motion until the grains are evenly coated with sauce. The rice should be completely hot by now. Next, add the beef and any juices from the bowl you set aside earlier, and stir fry for another minute.

Add the eggs, breaking up any large clumps, peas, and the scallions. Continue stir-frying for another 30 seconds. Push the rice into the middle of the wok to let the perimeter of the wok heat up. After about 20 seconds, pour 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok. Stir-fry for another 20 seconds. Adding the wine using this method gives the dish a little extra wok hei! At this point, taste the rice to see if it needs a little more salt, soy sauce, or white pepper and season accordingly.

Serve immediately, and, if you’re like us, don’t forget some homemade chili oil!

Making the Beef Fried Rice

Try 0.5 tsp lime juice if you don't have sumac lying around and want the tartness :-)

Cumin is my latest spice I have been experimenting with and so loved to find this recipe. As an aside, cumin in guac or as an addition to rice pilaf... mmm.  I added red pepper flakes for spice, the lime someone suggested and used that aforementioned cumin rice pilaf leftover.  A quick, easy delicious meal that will be a staple.  One suggestion... cooking times are way too long even allowing that I had halved the total ingredients.

Hi Joyce, I did so many fried rice in different cooking ways, but I have never tried to add cumin as 1 of the ingredients into cooking with fried rice.  So, I have done to follow your exact receipe, slightly fried green onions to get its aroma. Amazingly, everyone from my family loves it .🙂👍.  Thamk you for your new innovation in cookings.

Recipe video above. This is a bit special because it&#39;s rare to see fried rice made with juicy bites of steak! With marinated, tenderised beef pieces &quot;sizzled&quot; until golden (aka - your favourite Chinese restaurant Sizzling Beef!), this is an excellent recipe to make with economical cuts like sizzle steak, minute steak, and pre-cut stir fry strips. The beef is caramelised on the outside, and tenderised so it doesn&#39;t overcook. It&#39;s so soft and velvety, you will be shocked!
