Ingredients

Beef

1 pound flank steak cut against the grain into thin slices
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or ground white pepper

Fried Rice

3 Tablespoons olive oil divided
2 large eggs lightly beaten
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables carrots, peas, green beans and sweet corn
3 green onions diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
4 cups cooked rice I used Jasmine rice, see Note 2
2 Tablespoons soy sauce or to taste
1 Tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

Season beef. Place the beef, salt and white or black pepper into a medium mixing bowl. Toss well to combine.
Sear beef. Place one tablespoon of the olive oil into a wok. Let it heat up on medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the beef in a single layer. Let cook on one side for 2-3 minutes until seared then flip the beef to the other side and let it cook while stirring the beef from time to time until cooked to desired doneness. Remove the beef from the pan. Some rendered fat from the beef will be left in the pan.
Scramble eggs. Add the beaten eggs to the wok with the rendered fat (using the fat to scramble the eggs). Let them set then stir the eggs to break them up and scramble them. Remove scrambled eggs from the wok and set aside.
Sauté aromatics. Add the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Let it heat up for 1 minute. Add the minced ginger and garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the green onions and stir for 30 seconds.
Add rice and soy sauce. Add the cooked rice to the pan and the soy sauce.
Fry rice. Stir the rice in the pan on high heat, combining it with the soy sauce. Keep stirring until the rice is completely heated through.
Add beef and eggs. Add the seared beef and scrambled eggs back to the pan. Toss everything to combine.
Add sesame oil. Drizzle the sesame oil over the rice then toss to combine. Turn off the heat.
Garnish and serve. Garnish with more sliced green onions and serve warm.

Notes

1. Beef: You can use any beef you have on hand for this recipe. Just make sure you cut the beef into really thin slices. Other kinds of protein like chicken or pork would work as well.

2. Rice: I used Jasmine rice but any other rice would work as well. Consider using Basmati rice or another long-grain rice, or brown rice.

3. Spicy: To make this rice a little spicy, sauté the ginger and garlic with some red pepper flakes.

4. Pepper tip: Add some ground black pepper or white pepper just before adding the sesame oil if you would love more flavor from the pepper.

4. Storage: Store fried rice in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You could also freeze fried rice in an airtight container.
