Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked brown rice
• 6 ounces Lean steak (such as sirloin)
• 6 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium Carrot, diced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 small Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced

Directions

Step 1

Cook the brown rice according to package directions and let it cool completely. This can be done ahead of time to save time.

Step 2

Cut the steak and chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Season them lightly with black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and set aside with the steak.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add sesame oil to the skillet. Add the diced onions, carrots, and frozen peas. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Push the vegetable mixture to the side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Combine with the vegetables.

Step 8

Add the cooled brown rice to the skillet and mix well, breaking up any clumps.

Step 9

Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce over the rice and stir thoroughly to ensure even coating.

Step 10

Return the cooked steak and chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the meat is warmed through.

Step 11

Garnish the fried rice with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
