    1

    Begin by cooking the rice according to the package instructions, allowing it to cool. This step usually takes about 20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, chop the beef into small bite-sized pieces and season with a tablespoon of soy sauce.

    3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

    4

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    5

    Next, add the chopped carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

    6

    Add the peas and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

    7

    Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.

    8

    Add the cooked rice and the previously cooked beef back to the skillet. Pour in the remaining soy sauce and mix everything together, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.

    Finally, stir in the chopped green onion for added flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Savory Beef Fried Rice!
