Shrimp & Steak Fried Rice


When I was a kid, Chinese food was a rare thing in our house.  My father did not like it and now it is one of his preferred meals out.  My wife and I do a lot of variations of fried rice, so this just adds to the options.

This was found on Facebook and originally comes from Home Made Recipes.


Ingredients:

  • 1 ribeye, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12-15 raw shrimp, tail off and deveined
  • 4 cups day-old cold cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 tbsp soy sauce, divided
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar, divided
  • 4 tbsp oil, divided


Directions:

  • Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1/2 tbsp brown sugar to the steak.
  • Put aside.
  • Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1/2 tbsp brown sugar to the shrimp.
  • Put aside.
  • In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp oil and cook steak for 1 minute per side until browned.
  • Remove from the pan.
  • Add shrimp to the same pan and cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes until they form a nice C shape.
  • Remove from the pan.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan.
  • Add carrots and onions, cooking for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Scoot the mixture to one side of the pan.
  • On the empty side of the pan, add the beaten eggs and scramble them.
  • Once the eggs are cooked, add in the day-old cold rice.
  • Use a spatula to break up the rice and add in the remaining soy sauce and sugar.
  • Return the shrimp and steak to the pan, then add the green onions.
  • Stir everything together and enjoy.
