📝 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Beef Stir-Fry:
- Marinate the beef:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Cook the beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger, onion, red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Add beef and cornstarch slurry:
- Return the beef to the skillet. Mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then pour it into the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables. Remove from heat.
2. Prepare the Fried Rice:
- Scramble the eggs:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked. Remove the eggs and set aside.
- Cook the rice:
- Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the cold cooked rice, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the rice is heated through and the vegetables are cooked.
- Add the scrambled eggs:
- Stir the scrambled eggs and chopped green onions into the fried rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Serve:
- Plate the stir-fry and fried rice:
- Serve the Beef Stir-Fry alongside or on top of the Fried Rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
