Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by slicing flank steak into thin strips against the grain, ensuring even cuts for quick and uniform cooking.
- Season steak strips with 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce and let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature to enhance flavor absorption.
- Heat sesame oil in a large wok or wide skillet over high heat until it shimmers and becomes fragrant.
- Add marinated steak strips to hot skillet, cooking quickly for 2-3 minutes until edges are slightly crispy and meat is medium-rare. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, scramble beaten eggs, breaking them into small pieces until just cooked. Transfer eggs to a separate plate.
- Add mixed vegetables to the skillet, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until they become tender-crisp and slightly charred.
- Introduce cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Pour soy sauce and remaining sriracha sauce over rice, mixing thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Return cooked steak and scrambled eggs to the skillet, gently folding them into the rice mixture.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, giving a final quick stir to combine all ingredients.
- Serve hot, with additional sriracha sauce on the side for those who prefer extra heat.
Tips
- • For the most tender steak, always slice against the grain and let it come to room temperature before cooking. • Use day-old rice for the best fried rice texture - freshly cooked rice can become mushy. • Ensure your wok or skillet is extremely hot before adding ingredients to achieve that coveted "wok hei" flavor and perfect sear. • Don't overcrowd the pan - cook ingredients in batches to maintain high heat and prevent steaming. • Customize your heat level by adjusting the amount of sriracha sauce. • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of rice wine or garlic to your marinade. • Prep all ingredients before starting to cook, as this stir-fry comes together quickly.
