Description
This one-skillet Steak Fried Rice is a quick and flavorful dish that’s better than takeout! Tender marinated sirloin steak, perfectly stir-fried rice, veggies, and scrambled eggs come together in under 30 minutes for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- ½ pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 teaspoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup white onion, diced
- 3 cups cooked white rice (preferably day old)
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Slice sirloin steak into thin strips. Toss with baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Pour half over the steak and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining sauce.
- Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until slightly smoking. Add steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear for 30–60 seconds per side until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add onions and cook for 1–2 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add cold rice and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes. Add peas and carrots along with the reserved sauce. Stir until everything is well coated.
- Return steak to the skillet and stir to combine with the rice.
- Push rice to one side. If needed, add a bit of oil and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble until cooked, then mix into the rice.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- Using day-old rice ensures better texture and prevents clumping.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing steak—cook in batches for best browning.
- Customize with extra veggies or spice (e.g., chili flakes or sriracha) to taste.
