Beef Fried Rice

soy sauce

oyster sauce

sesame oil

vegetable oil

sirloin steak

onion

frozen peas and carrots

eggs (lightly beaten)

rice

green onions, for garnish, (optional)

In a small bowl, make the sauce. Stir together the dark soy, soy, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat add 1/4 of the vegetable oil to the pan and add the beef, sear the steak, getting a char on it, cooking it until just done, 3-5 minutes. Place the beef on a plate and set aside.

Add ¼ of the vegetable oil to the skillet and saute the onion until softened and starting to brown, 2 minutes. Next, add the peas and carrots, until slightly softened for 3 minutes. Then add the cooked veggies to the plate with the beef.

Add ¼ more of the vegetable oil to the pan and scramble the egg, stirring occasionally until cooked, about 1 minute. Set aside on the plate with the beef and veggies.

Next, add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan and add the rice. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to get a slight char, stir it around.

Add the cooked beef, veggies, and egg back to the pan, stir to combine.

Lastly, add the sauce and stir to coat everything. Continue to cook for about 3 more minutes so everything warms through and the flavors can blend.

Serve immediately with a garnish of sliced green onions (optional).

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.
