Easy Steak Fried Rice {gluten & soy free}

This steak fried rice is an easy and delicious meal that’s quick enough to whip up on a weeknight! It’s gluten-free, soy-free and packed with veggies.

Fried rice is one of my repeat dinners to throw together on a weeknight! My husband says that it’s one of his favorite meals that I make, and I love how quick and easy it is. I tend almost always to make chicken & shrimp fried rice, but recently, I’ve been craving more ways to enjoy steak and wound up adding steak to my fried rice. Spoiler… it’s amazing.

Why you’ll love this recipe

• It’s quick and easy! This recipe is done in less than 30 minutes and requires minimal prep.
• It’s made in one pan. I’m always a fan of doing less dishes. You’ll only need one large pan or wok to make this recipe.
• Fried rice makes great leftovers. Fried rice reheats wonderfully. I love meal prepping this one on the weekend and reheating throughout the week.

The Ingredients for Easy Steak Fried Rice

• Coconut Aminos, Rice Vinegar, Ginger Paste, and Coconut Sugar. This makes the sauce and adds so much flavor!
• Sirloin Steak. You could also use flank steak.
• Avocado Oil, Salt, and Pepper.
• Yellow Onion, Garlic, Carrots, Frozen Peas, and Frozen Cauliflower Rice. I love all of these veggies in it, but you could switch it up depending on what you have on hand.
• Jasmine Rice. You want to make sure you are using cold, precooked rice!
• Egg.
• Green Onion. Chopped for topping.

Substitutions & Variations

• Swap the sirloin steak for flank steak. I prefer sirloin for this recipe, but flank steak will also work.
• Use gluten-free soy sauce. This recipe uses coconut aminos instead of a soy based GF soy sauce, but you can easily use either. However, keeping mind that a soy based GF soy sauce like liquid aminos will have a higher sodium content, so be sure you salt to taste as you go.
• Use brown rice instead of white rice. Brown rice will work just as well! Make sure that it’s also cooled.
• Switch up the veggies. Corn, bell pepper, and finely chopped broccoli would also be great.
• Use all cauliflower rice to make it grain-free. You can easily make this recipe entirely grain-free by just using cauliflower rice. Keep in mind that cauliflower rice will cook down a bit more than the white rice would, so you may need less coconut aminos.

How to make Steak Fried Rice

• Step One. Make the sauce and season the steak.
• Step Two. Sear the steak and set aside.
• Step Three. Saute the onion and garlic and other veggies.

• Step Four. Add the rice and stir all together.
• Step Five. Add the whisked egg and scramble the egg to cook.

• Step Six. Add the steak back in.
• Step Seven. Serve with green onion and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

• Make sure you’re using cold rice. Using fresh rice will never yield crispy fried rice! Use rice that’s cold out of the fridge for perfectly crispy fried rice. If you don’t have cold rice on hand, the best hack for speeding up the process is to spread your warm rice on a baking sheet and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes to cool off.
• Add a sauce! Fried rice is amazing on it’s own, but it’s even yummier with an extra sauce like this hibachi ginger sauce.

Storage & reheating instructions

This recipe makes great leftovers! Store the recipe in glass in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in a pan with some extra avocado oil, and a splash of extra coconut aminos.

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 3 tbsp coconut aminos
• 2 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp coconut sugar
• 12 oz sirloin steak, diced into bite-sized pieces
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup carrots, diced

• 3 cups jasmine rice, cooked and cooled
• 1 egg, whisked
• 2 tbsp green onion, chopped

Instructions

1. Combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, ginger paste, and coconut sugar in a small bowl and whisk well. Set aside.
2. Season the steak with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
3. Using a large pan, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the steak in one layer, making sure the steak is not touching. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly crisp and cooked through. Set aside, covering to keep the steak warm.
4. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and saute for 3 minutes until the onion is lightly translucent. Add the carrots, peas, and cauliflower rice and stir to saute. Lightly season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir until the vegetables are lightly tender. This will take about 4 minutes.
5. Push the vegetables to one side and add the rice. Break up any clumps in the rice, pushing it down into an even layer. Allow to sit undisturbed for a few minutes to crisp up the rice. Stir to saute, incorporating the vegetables, and season with more salt and pepper.
6. Move the rice to one side and pour the whisked egg into the empty space on the pan. Scramble to cook the egg, and stir to combine into the fried rice.
7. Add the cooked steak to the fried rice along with the sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits of rice. Stir to combine.
8. Serve topped with green onion, seasoning further with salt and pepper to taste!

Notes

• Make sure that the steak sits on the counter for 15-20 minutes to come up to room temperature a bit before slicing. This helps keep the steak tender.
