Steak Fried Rice
Tender steak, perfectly seasoned rice, and crisp vegetables come together in this bold, savory Steak Fried Rice. It’s rich in flavor, easy to make, and ideal for anyone craving a takeout-style meal at home.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked rice chilled
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- ½ pound steak sliced.
- 1 tablespoon butter salted.
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ cup onion diced.
- ½ cup carrot diced.
- 1 inch ginger peeled knob.
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped.
- 2 eggs lightly beaten.
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ cup peas frozen and thawed.
- 2 green onions sliced.
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by dicing the onion and carrot, chopping the garlic, peeling and grating the ginger, and slicing the green onions. If you’re using raw steak, slice it into bite-sized pieces. For leftover steak, slice it thinly and set it aside to add later.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the raw steak and sear until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the steak to a plate. If you're using leftover steak, wait to add it.
- In the same pan, add the butter and sesame oil. Once melted, stir in the onion, carrot, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
- Add the chilled rice, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Press the rice into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to get crispy bits.
- Push the rice to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Let them cook for about a minute, then scramble and mix them into the rice.
- Add the peas and soy sauce, stirring everything together. If using leftover steak, add it now. Stir well to heat through and remove from the heat.
- Garnish with sliced green onions. If you want an extra kick, drizzle with chili oil or sriracha.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Use cold rice—it fries up better than fresh rice, which will just steam and make the dish soggy.
- You don’t need a wok! A large skillet works just as well.
- If using leftover steak, add it at the end to avoid overcooking it.
- For that perfect crispy texture, use a hot pan and stir minimally.
- Taste before adding more soy sauce, as leftover steak might already be seasoned.
