Beef Fried Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked white long grain rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon honey (can substitute brown sugar)
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3/4 lb. strip steak (or skirt, flank, or sirloin steak)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 eggs, whisked well
• 1–2 tablespoons peanut oil (can substitute olive or canola oil)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 3/4 cup frozen peas
• 3/4 cup frozen carrots
• 3–4 green onions, diced

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked rice with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger until well combined. Set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak: Slice the strip steak thinly against the grain. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Pour in whisked eggs and stir gently until just set but still soft. Remove the eggs and set aside with the steak.

5. 5

   Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Add remaining peanut oil to the skillet. Sauté minced garlic and diced onion until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then add frozen peas and carrots, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

6. 6

   Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let the wine reduce slightly for 1-2 minutes.

7. 7

   Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add the cooked rice and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss well and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes to allow flavors to blend and rice to get slightly crispy.

8. 8

   Finish and Serve: Stir in diced green onions. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot as a delicious and complete meal.
