Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 pound lean beef sirloin or flank steak thinly sliced
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots thawed
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice cooled
  • 2-3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Wok
  • Spatula
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until just set; transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  4. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper, add to the hot pan, and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes; remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, add the diced onion and minced garlic and stir-fry until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes.
  6. Add the thawed peas and carrots and cook for about 3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Add the cooked, cooled brown rice to the pan and stir to combine with the vegetables.
  8. Whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour the sauce over the rice and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes to heat through and coat the rice.
  9. Return the cooked beef and scrambled eggs to the pan, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  10. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for best texture.
  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste.
