Description
Savory Onion Beef Fried Rice is a comforting blend of caramelized onions, tender flank steak, and day-old jasmine rice tossed in umami-rich soy and oyster sauces—perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day‑old)
8 oz flank steak, thinly sliced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Optional: 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
Instructions
- Marinate the sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, black pepper, and a pinch of salt for 15–30 minutes.
- If using day‑old rice, break up any clumps. If freshly cooked, cool it slightly to prevent mushiness.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat. Sauté onions until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Push onions to the side, add marinated beef in a single layer, sear for 1–2 minutes without stirring, then stir with onions and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add optional mixed vegetables and cook until warmed through.
- Add rice to the skillet, breaking up clumps. Pour in remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes until heated and well combined.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best texture, or cool fresh rice before using.
- To make it vegetarian, replace beef with tofu and use vegetarian stir-fry sauce.
- Add a splash of fish sauce or chili paste for extra umami and spice.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet for best results.
