Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lean beef sirloin
- 3 cups Jasmine rice, cooked and cooled
- 0.5 cup Carrots, diced
- 0.5 cup Green peas, frozen and thawed
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 3 stalks Green onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by patting the beef dry with a paper towel and slice it thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced beef and sear for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, green peas, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs, cooking them until just set, and then mix them with the vegetables.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the cooked jasmine rice, ensuring it's cooled to prevent clumping.
Drizzle the low sodium soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Stir everything together and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, letting the rice lightly crisp.
Season with black pepper, and sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top just before serving.
Serve the beef and vegetable fried rice immediately, enjoying a flavorful, low sodium alternative to a traditional favorite.
