This super simple and tasty Teriyaki Beef Fried Rice is a skillet meal in the making. Lean ground beef is sauteed then combined with cooked rice, sweet petite peas, green onion and seasonings. Teriyaki sauce gives it the exact flavor boost that takes it over the top. Toss in ribbons of cooked egg at the end, and it’s meal time in no time flat perfect for those busy day dinners.
Teriyaki Beef Fried Rice
Ground beef is a go-to ingredient for me when I want a budget friendly meal. I’m feeding boys so, it’s always a consideration for me how I can keep them satisfied and my pocketbook in check. Whether it’s smokey joes served on warm kaiser rolls, Italian inspired loose meat hoagies, or easy peasy chili spaghetti ground beef tends to stretch one meal into lunches and leftovers and that keeps everyone happy. It’s only fitting that I develop an Asian inspired dish like this teriyaki beef fried rice and from the very first bite it was a hit.
Tips and Tricks
One terrific time saver with this dish is, the rice needs to be cooked in advance and chilled. Doing this keeps it from over cooking and becoming mushy when stir fried with the teriyaki beef. It’s convenient to have it prepared when you’re ready to cook paring down the time spent on prepping ingredients. Due to cooking the rice in advance this dish is ready to eat in under 30 minutes. It doesn’t get any better that that on a busy day. Want to skip the carbs? Try it with cauliflower rice instead.

I love this dish, thanks for sharing, I took out the beef and added ground chicken instead as we don’t eat beef, but everything else I left as is, and it was a super hit.

Ground chicken is a terrific improv as is sausage in a pinch. It’s my pleasure thanks so much for visiting!

Love this recipe! Super easy to prepare, not a lot of extra ingredients. I modified by embellishing a box I had on hand of frozen Ling Ling fried rice adding some additional plain brown rice as well.

Fabulous! Delicious. I’m a foodie and picky kids. I made it with sushi rice, served it as a cup of rice parted with the teriyaki beef in center. Everyone gobbled it up…and none of my kids like peas. I also did not have teriyaki and used Trader Joe’s Island Teryaki. You’ve got to feel comfortable improving a bit…loved it! Thank you!!!
