“Sizzling Beef” Steak Fried Rice
Oct 31, 2024 07:45 AM
Steak Fried Rice is a bit special because it’s rare to see fried rice made with chunks of beef! With marinated, tenderised beef pieces “sizzled” until golden, this is an excellent recipe to make with economical cuts like sizzle steak, minute steak, and pre-cut stir fry strips.
This is not the first time I’ve done a beef fried rice. But it’s the first time I’ve shared any rice dish with steak pieces rather than mince (ground beef) jumbled throughout the rice. In fact, it might be the first time I’ve ever eaten a fried rice with pieces of beef in it!
Mind you, I’m not claiming this as an original invention. I’m just saying it’s different from the usual fried rice made with chicken or prawns/shrimp. It’s a bit special. And it is really tasty. It scored highly with my family, regular recipients of my trials (and errors) in the kitchen. Those tasty little marinated bits of beef “sizzled” until caramelised really makes it!
