Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil Divided use
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice Must be day-old and chilled
  • 8 oz beef flank steak Thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots Diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas No need to thaw
  • 1/2 cup green onions Thinly sliced
  • 3 whole large eggs Whisked
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce Divided use
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil Toasted preferred
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger Grated

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Set aside.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the whisked eggs, cook until softly scrambled, and transfer to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add another 1/2 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside with the eggs.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet. Stir in the diced carrots, minced garlic, and grated ginger, cooking for 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  • Add the cold cooked brown rice and frozen peas to the skillet. Toss continuously for 4-5 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and slightly crisp.
  • Return the cooked beef and eggs to the skillet. Pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the sesame oil. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the sliced green onions, and serve hot.
