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

  1. Marinate the sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, black pepper, and a pinch of salt for 15–30 minutes.
  2. If using day‑old rice, break up any clumps. If freshly cooked, cool it slightly to prevent mushiness.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat. Sauté onions until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add optional mixed vegetables and cook until warmed through.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
