Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Steak fried rice is just perfect for any busy weeknight when you want to have a great dinner and have very little time for it.

This delicacy happens to be one of the greatest ways to finish off leftover rice and veggies.

Tender steak, scrambled eggs, the aroma of garlic and onions, mixed—all that is way too good to be resisted.

And that, of course, means less washing since it cooks in just one pan.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 300g sirloin steak: You’ll want a rather nice piece of meat for good overall flavor. You’re going to be cutting this into nice, bitable chunks.
• 1 bowl of steamed rice: It is preferable if it is a day-old, from the fridge, because that is really dry and will not become pasty in the pan.
• Vegetable oil
• Put 1 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced: This really gives the dish a nice aromatic base.
• White onion, diced—1 Tbsp: adds a bit of sweetness and some crunch to the rice.
• Carrot, diced—one: its natural color and a bit of sweetness.
• Garnish with 2 scallions: gives touches of freshness and sharp bits.
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce: secret to being rich, with an umami flavor that binds it together
• 1 teaspoon white pepper: gives subtle heat and a dimension to flavor
• Salt to taste: which really brings out all the flavors.
• Sugar to taste: would balance out the savory bits with a hint of sweetness

How You Should Make It

Cook the Steak: Slice the sirloin steak thinly across the grain. Quickly fry it in vegetable oil, seasoning with a small amount of salt and white pepper. The pieces should be put aside.

Scramble Eggs: Scramble eggs in advance at medium heat and put them aside.

Sauté some aromatics: Replenish with oil if necessary and add minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté until aromatic and slightly soft. Add carrot and stir it about 2 minutes. Add the steamed rice and toss everything together. Make sure the rice gets well coated with oil and turns a little crisp in color.

Toss everything back: Put the scrambled eggs and steak back into the pan. The meat goes back in with the oyster sauce, white pepper, and just a pinch of sugar. Mix well, and you can cook this hot.

Serve: Reward with scallions on top. Serve hot and enjoy it with literally no time wasted in your day-to-day activities.

Pro Tips for the Best Steak Fried Rice

I always recommend using cold, preferably day-old, due to the fact that cold rice helps keep everything a bit separated and not too mushy.

High heat is the key. For things like rice and meat, always ensure to cook it on high heat.

When cooked that way, you will make sure that all of your food is very well cooked, yet it keeps its proper texture.

Why You Should Make Steak Fried Rice

Steak Fried Rice: It’s one of the really versatile and easy dishes to put together, and it’s bound to be a real hit with a family—one in which you can use up leftovers or whip up from scratch. Perfect for enjoying that steak in a way you wouldn’t normally have done.

Season to taste: Taste your rice in the process. Salt, pepper, or even a little sugar goes a long way.
