Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil divided
- 3/4 pound ground beef lean
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 3 cups rice cooked
- 1/2 onion chopped, white
- 1 cup pea thawed, frozen
- 1 cup carrot thawed, frozen
- 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce more or less to taste
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons green onions chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, ground beef, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain any leftover oil from the meat. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Returning to the same wok, add the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, onion, peas, and carrots. Cook until tender.
- Slide the onion, peas, and carrots to the side, and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side of the skillet. Using a spatula, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.
- Add the cooked rice to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour the soy sauce on top. Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until warmed through and combined.
- Add the cooked ground beef back to the rice and veggie mixture and stir to combine.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped green onion if desired.
