This sticky beef fried rice is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover rice. It features tender beef with caramelized edges tossed with crisp vegetables and a savory, slightly spicy sauce that coats every single bite.

My best tip for success is to use cold, day old rice if you have it. It fries up much better than fresh, hot rice and keeps the dish from turning mushy.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups cooked white rice, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce to create your glaze.

  2. 2

    Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining oil to the same pan. Stir in the broccoli and bell pepper, cooking for about three minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.

  4. 4

    Add the minced garlic and the chilled rice to the pan. Break up any clumps of rice with your spatula and stir fry for two minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour the sauce mixture over the rice and toss everything together to coat it well. Add the beef back into the pan.

  6. 6

    Cook for another minute until everything is hot and well combined. Garnish with fresh green onions before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat this in a pan with a tiny splash of water to keep the rice from drying out. Feel free to add a fried egg on top for an extra protein boost.
