Easy & Tasty Ground Beef Fried Rice

 

Ingredients

  

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cups cold cooked rice
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• ½ cup carrot diced
• ½ cup onion diced
• ½ cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons ginger diced
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 egg lightly beaten
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• green onion sliced, for garnish

Instructions

 

• Add the ground beef to a large skillet or wok and cook it over medium-high heat until it is browned. Transfer it out of the skillet and set it aside. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of fat.
• Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
• Add the diced carrot and onion, cooking until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the frozen peas, ginger, and garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
• Add the cold cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and cook for 3-4 minutes or until heated through and starting to brown slightly.
• Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the lightly beaten egg into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked.
• Mix the scrambled egg with the vegetables and rice.
• Stir in the cooked ground beef.
• Pour the soy sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
• Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well mixed. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
