Onion Beef Fried Rice Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 2-3)
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old or chilled)
- 200g beef (sirloin, flank, or any tender cut), thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2-3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Optional: 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots (for added veggies)
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Cook the Eggs:
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Remove and set aside with the beef.
- Stir-Fry the Onions:
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet.
- Sauté the sliced onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Combine Everything:
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet and break up any clumps.
- Stir in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to coat the rice evenly.
- Add the cooked beef, scrambled eggs, and optional peas and carrots. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips
- Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice can be too moist and sticky.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more soy sauce or a dash of chili sauce for heat.
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of fish sauce or a pinch of five-spice powder.
