Onion Beef Fried Rice

Ground beef, frozen mixed veggies and leftover cooked rice (the trick to keeping it fluffy not sticky), and you've got supper! Optional scotch bonnet pepper gives it a kick or serve with sriracha sauce. You can also add scrambled egg to up the protein.

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked, cooled brown rice (day old and any rice works!)

1 tbsp vegetable oil 

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

1 1/2 tbsps minced garlic

1 tbsp finely diced scotch bonnet pepper (optional)

1 cup mixed frozen vegetables 

1/3 cup diced bell pepper

1/4 cup water

2 tbsps soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

salt and pepper to taste

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a deep skillet to medium high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper and brown in the pan, cooking until no pink remains. Remove to a plate. In the same pan, fry the onion 4-5 minutes then add the garlic and scotch bonnet 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the vegetables on medium low heat and de-glaze the pan with 1/4 cup water. Stir together for 5 minutes then add the rice to the pan along with the beef. Mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil together and mix in to coat. Adjust salt and pepper if needed. Heat through for about 5 minutes then serve. Makes 4 servings.
