Ingredients

  • ▢ 2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste
  • ▢ 1 pound beef (about half kg) cut into 1-inch slices
  • ▢ ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon Biriyani masala (I used SHAN Biriyani masala)
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon coconut or vegetable oil for browning beef
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon coconut or vegetable oil for stir fry vegetables
  • ▢ ¼ cup coconut or vegetable oil
  • ▢ 1 cup chopped onion
  • ▢ 2 cups raw basmati rice
  • ▢ 4 cups water (1 liter)
  • ▢ 1 seasoning cubes also called Maggi. Substitute with two beef bouillon cubes.
  • ▢ 1 cup carrot diced
  • ▢ 1 cup green beans diced
  • ▢ 1 cup leeks
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon Oister sauce
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons Soya sauce
  • ▢ 2 2″ pentant leaves
  • ▢ Few curry leaves

Instructions

  1. Add one teaspoon of the ginger garlic paste on the beef. Sprinkle the black pepper over the beef and add the 1 teaspoon of briyani masala. Sprinkle one quarter teaspoon of salt over the beef. Mix well so the seasoning goes all over the beef.
  2. Place a pot (preferably a non-stick pot) on high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot. Swirl to ensure the oil coats the bottom of the pot. Add the beef to the pot in a single layer. Let the beef cook on one side for about 5 minutes or until browned then flip to the other side and let it cook for another 4 minutes or until browned. Remove the beef from the pot then add the remaining beef and equally brown.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot and add carrots and green beans. Stir fry for 2 minutes. While it fries add fried beef and mix well.
  4. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce and leeks mix it for 2 minutes. Remove the beef mix from the pot.
  5. Add the remaining oil to the pot. Let it heat up (still on high heat) for about 2 minutes. Add the onions and sauté while stirring for 2 minutes.
  6. Wash the rice and strain well.
  7. Add the rice to the pot and stir. Let it cook for 5 minutes while stirring continuously so it doesn’t burn and the rice fries easily.
  8. Add pendant leaves and curry leaves to the rice and stir. Add the remaining ginger garlic paste to the rice and stir for about a minute.
  9. Add four cups of water, the salt and seasoning cubes to the rice. Stir to combine. Add the browned beef.
  10. When the rice boiled turn down the heat to low and let it cook for 15 minutes.
  11. Place the lid of the pot over the pot and press to ensure the pot is tightly closed.
  12. After 15 minutes, open the pot and add the beef and vegetables mix over the rice. Spread to ensure the vegetables are even over the rice and cook 10 minutes. Close the pot then turn off the heat. Let it rest for 5 minutes. 
  13. Fluff the rice to ensure it combines well with the vegetables. Serve warm.

Notes

I used Basmati rice in this recipe, but you could use another long grain rice of choice. You might need to reduce the quantity of water if you choose a kind of long grain rice that gets soft easily. It is best to follow the manufacturer’s recommended amount of water for the rice to choose (that’s if you use another rice that’s not Basmati.)

This Ultimate Beef Fried Rice Recipe is highly customizable, so feel free to add your favorite vegetables, adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences, or even substitute the beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different variation. Don’t be afraid to experiment and make this dish your own! Enjoy the journey of creating and savoring this delightful fusion of East meets West flavors.
