Equipment
- 1 large skillet or wok
- 1 cutting board
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice Preferably day-old.
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce Optional.
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables Such as bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain and set it aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, and oyster sauce (if using). Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
For added spice, consider including red pepper flakes or a dash of chili sauce.
Feel free to substitute the vegetables based on what you have on hand or to suit your preference.
Using day-old rice works best as it is drier and will fry better than freshly cooked rice.
