Here’s a flavorful and easy Onion Beef Fried Rice recipe—savory beef, caramelized onions, and fluffy rice all in one wok or skillet 🍚🥩✨
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
- 250–300 g beef (thinly sliced, sirloin or flank steak works)

- 2–3 green onions (chopped)
- 2–3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2–3 tbsp cooking oil
- Salt & black pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef
- Season beef slices with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp soy sauce
- Optional: marinate for 10–15 minutes for extra flavor
2. Sauté Onions
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet or wok
- Add sliced onions and cook until soft and lightly caramelized
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds
3. Cook the Beef
- Push onions to the side
- Add remaining oil, then beef slices
- Stir-fry on high heat until just cooked (2–3 minutes)
4. Add Rice & Sauce

💡 Tips
- Day-old rice works best—it’s drier and fries better
- Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers for extra color
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of chili sauce or crushed red pepper
This dish is quick, savory, and comforting, perfect for a weeknight dinner or meal prep 😋
I can also give you a one-pan version with an egg for extra protein if you want it even heartier.
Do you want me to do that?
