Notes
Tips
If using canned peas or fresh pre-cooked peas: add them together with cooked rice and meat as they are pre-cooked and juicy. If using frozen peas, add them after sautéing onion and carrot so they thaw and soften.
Choose the right steak: Opt for tender cuts of steak, such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon. The marbling of fat in these cuts adds flavor and tenderness to the dish.
Precook the steak: For optimal tenderness and even cooking, precook the steak to medium-rare or your desired level of doneness before adding it to the fried rice. This will prevent overcooking when stir-frying.
Use cold cooked rice: Use leftover cooked rice that has been refrigerated overnight or cooled in the fridge for a few hours. Cold rice will be firmer and less sticky, allowing it to absorb flavors and achieve the desired texture when stir-fried.
Recipe NotesIn this recipe, the star of the show is the steak, carefully chosen for its tenderness and marbled richness. Then a combination of crispy veggies and a blend of savory soy sauce, fragrant ginger, and aromatic garlic, provides the flavors to elevate each bite. Finally, fried rice brings it all together absorbing both steak and veggies flavors.
