Beef Fried Rice
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 pound) flank steak
  • 5 teaspoons white sugar, divided
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
1
Begin by gently patting the flank steak dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2
Cut the steak into smaller, manageable pieces and transfer them to a medium-sized container.
3
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar, salt, and pepper over the meat pieces to enhance flavor.
4
Add a generous amount of cornstarch to the bowl and mix until each piece is evenly coated.
5
Next, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large cooking vessel - such as a wok or skillet - over medium-high heat.
6
Introduce the eggs to the pan and use a rubber spatula to scramble them until they are cooked through, taking approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
7
Transfer the eggs to a separate dish for later use.
8
Add another 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and carefully place half of the meat pieces into the wok.
9
Increase the heat to high and cook the meat until it is nicely browned on all sides and cooked through, taking around 3 to 5 minutes.
10
Transfer the cooked meat to a plate for now.
11
Add yet another 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and repeat the process with the remaining meat pieces.
12
Now, add a substantial amount of oil - 2 tablespoons in total - to the wok and lower the heat to medium-low.
13
Introduce the onion, garlic, and ginger into the pan and cook until the onions begin to soften, taking about 2 to 3 minutes.
14
Add a handful of peas and water to the pan, cooking until they are tender, another 2 to 3 minutes.
15
Add cooked rice to the pan and use a spatula to break it up into smaller pieces, cooking until heated through, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
16
Stir in soy sauce, the remaining 4 teaspoons of sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil.
17
Add the cooked meat back into the pan along with the scrambled eggs, mixing everything together until heated through, taking around 3 minutes.
18
Serve the dish immediately.
