Ingredients
  

  • You need 300g beef sirloin thinly sliced.
  • Get 2 medium onions cut into chunks.
  • Have 3 cups of cooked white rice ready.
  • Use day-old rice if possible; it works better.
  • You'll need 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

  • You need 2 eggs lightly beaten beforehand.

  • Keep 2 green onions for garnishing the dish.

Instructions
 

  • Slice the beef into thin, bite-sized pieces.
  • Cut onions into medium-sized chunks for texture.
  • Mince the garlic very fine for better flavor.
  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
  • Have your cooked rice ready and fluffed.
  • Make sure the rice is not too wet.
  • Day-old rice separates better when frying.
  • Prep everything before you turn on the heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in your wok.
  • Add the sliced beef to the hot pan.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned nicely.
  • The beef should be cooked but still tender.
  • Remove beef and set it aside on a plate.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok.
  • Pour in the beaten eggs when oil is hot.
  • Scramble them quickly with your spatula until cooked.
  • Break them into small pieces as you scramble.
  • Remove eggs and set aside with the beef.
  • Add the last tablespoon of oil to the wok.
  • Toss in the minced garlic first for aroma.
  • Add the onion chunks to the hot pan.
  • Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  • The onions should become slightly golden and fragrant.
  • Add the cooked rice to the onions now.
  • Break up any clumps with your spatula carefully.
  • Stir-fry for 2 minutes to heat through completely.
  • Add soy sauce and oyster sauce for flavor.
  • Mix everything well so rice absorbs the sauces.
  • Return the beef and eggs to the wok.
  • Toss everything together for another 2 minutes.
  • The rice should be evenly coated and heated.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed at this point.
  • Add more salt or soy sauce as desired.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions on top.
  • Serve your Onion Beef Fried Rice hot immediately.

Notes

  • Always use day-old rice for best results here.
  • Fresh rice becomes mushy when you fry it.
  • Keep your wok very hot throughout the cooking process.
  • This prevents the rice from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok with too many ingredients.
  • Cook in batches if you're making a large portion.
  • Slice beef against the grain for tender pieces.
  • Marinate beef for 15 minutes if you have time.
  • Use high-quality soy sauce for better taste overall.
  • Don't over-stir; let ingredients get slightly crispy.
  • Add vegetables like carrots or peas for extra nutrition.
