Vietnamese Fried Rice with Beef

Step 1

Dice the 1 medium onion and 1 medium potato into small cubes. Trim and cut the 0.5 cup green beans into 1-inch pieces. Slice the 0.5 pound beef sirloin into thin strips.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add the potato and onion, cook over medium-high until potato starts to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the green beans and 0.5 cup frozen peas. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Add the 3 cups cooked rice and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Toss everything together, breaking up clumps, until rice is heated through, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Return the beef to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 minute until everything is well combined and hot. Serve immediately.

Step 7

Optional: add a pinch of black pepper or a drizzle of sesame oil before serving if you have them.
