Easy Teriyaki Beef Fried Rice Recipe

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.

How to Make the Best Teriyaki Beef Fried Rice

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Teriyaki Beef Fried Rice: Ground beef, long grain rice, petite peas, onion, butter, olive oil, large eggs, green onions, sesame oil, garlic salt, black pepper, teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds, brown sugar, ginger and sriracha sauce.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large 12 inch skillet, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, large spoon for stirring and rice cooker or separate pan for making the rice.
• One terrific time saver with this dish is that 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.
• I highly recommend using teriyaki sauce for this recipe but you could adapt using soy sauce if that’s what you have on hand. When doing so, you may need to taste and adjust the amount to your taste.
• 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.
• There’s no need to thaw the peas prior to added them to the skillet.
• Trying to skip the carbs?  You can make this recipe using cauliflower rice instead.
• Store cooked Teriyaki Beef Fried Rice chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat. Add beef stock or water to add moisture when reheating.
