Ground Beef Fried Rice Recipe
Hearty fried rice made with ground beef, vegetables, and other simple ingredients. A perfect way to use leftover rice!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 large carrot peeled and diced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 3 cups cooked rice cold (leftover rice is perfect)
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ cup frozen corn
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 2 green onions sliced on the bias (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the hot skillet and press it flat. Let it sear on one side for about 5 minutes or until it is dark brown.
- Add the diced onion and carrots, cook and stir for another 8 minutes, or until the meat is browned and the veggies are tender.
- Add the salt, pepper, and garlic; cook for about 30 seconds. Then scoot the mixture to the side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the skillet. Cook and stir until barely set.
- Stir in the cold cooked rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, peas, corn, and red pepper flakes. Heat through. Taste and add more seasonings if desired.
- Garnish with the sliced green onions.
Notes
-I typically use regular long grain white rice, but you can use brown rice, jasmine rice, or any leftover rice you have in the fridge.
