Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb Beef sirloin, cut into small cubes

Vegetables

  • 1 large Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Peas, frozen
  • 1 cup Carrots, diced

Grains & Oils

  • 2 cups Cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil

Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil: Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for stir-frying the beef.
  2. Cook beef: Add the cubed beef sirloin to the hot oil and stir-fry until the beef is browned on all sides, ensuring it is cooked through and flavorful.
  3. Add aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet; continue stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Combine rice and vegetables: Incorporate the cooked rice, peas, and diced carrots into the skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, carefully breaking up any clumps of rice to achieve an even texture.
  5. Season the dish: Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture and stir well to combine all ingredients and evenly distribute the flavors.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the onion beef fried rice hot to enjoy its fresh, savory taste.

Notes

  • Using day-old rice helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy, as it is drier and separates better during cooking.
  • You can substitute beef sirloin with chicken or tofu as alternatives.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste for a saltier or milder flavor.
  • For extra flavor, garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
