We have leftovers often, and I’m always trying to repurpose it for the next night’s dinner. This steak fried rice is delicious and different and super simple to repurpose some steak for an amazing meal.
Ok. If you love fried rice, this recipe is so simple to make at home. I used just some leftover steaks we had in the refrigerator from the night before. Sauté them to rewarm them this add them in a big pot of rice, veggies, scrambled eggs and butter, soy sauce and brown sugar. It’s so quick and simple and an easy spin on leftovers.
Equipment You’ll Need
You’ll need a large skillet. I used my favorite Staub one I linked below. I use it so much. I also used a wooden spoon. You may also need a knife and some measuring cups. Otherwise, that’s pretty much all you’ll need.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Leftover Steak:
I used I think about two cups worth of chopped leftover steak. There’s really no rules to this or the amount, the cut of beef, etc.
White Rice:
It will end up being about 3 cups of cooked and cooled white rice. You’ll make about a cup and half of dry white rice.
Frozen Mixed Vegetables:
I used a frozen bag of mixed vegetables. There are several different types of veggies, so be sure to get the one with corn, carrots, peas and green beans.
Eggs:
You’ll need to scramble 4 eggs to add them into your fried rice.
Yellow Onion & Minced Garlic:
You’ll need a half of a yellow onion and a tablespoon of minced garlic. This just adds flavor to the pot.
Butter:
Why not? I use butter for everything. This just helps the soy sauce bind to the rice and gives it more flavor.
Soy Sauce:
You’ll need a third of cup of soy sauce.
Brown Sugar:
I used two tablespoons of brown sugar. I added them to my soy sauce them poured it over the top. I liked the hint of sweetness it gives.
