Sorry, for some of the pictures, I made this recipe at 4 pm in December, so the light was almost nonexistent.


Ground Beef Fried Rice Ingredients

You don’t need to have all of the ingredients on this list, the basic ingredients you need are:

  • ground beef
  • cooked rice (should be cold, preferably day old)
  • garlic
  • eggs
  • garlic
  • olive oil or sesame oil
  • cabbage
  • scallions
  • tamari (gluten free) or soy sauce (not gluten free)

You can also add other vegetables you might have in your fridge like carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini. Add some spices, use whatever you have. I personally added some spinach and bell pepper and chili flakes to this recipe, but you can definitely play around and make this delicious meal your own.

How To Make Ground Beef Fried Rice

The process is very similar to my other fried rice recipe for healthy chicken fried rice. Only difference – we use ground beef and not chicken. Here’s what to do:

step 1 beef fried rice

You start by cooking the ground beef in a pan. Since I use very lean ground beef, I always add a little bit of water and a little bit of oil. Then I cover with a lid and let it cook through.

While the beef is cooking start chopping your vegetables. You can also do that before you start cooking, because this recipe requires all ingredients to basically be ready to be thrown in the pan quickly one after another.

step 2 beef fried rice

After the beef has cooked for 5-6 minutes, remove any excess water that might be in the pan, move the beef to one side and scramble two eggs on the other side.

step 3 beef fried rice

Add in the cabbage, garlic, chili flakes, bell pepper or carrots and stir. Add in the tamari or soy sauce, a bit more oil, stir and cover with a lid for 2-3 more minutes.

step 4 beef fried rice

Remove the lid and stir in the rice, any vegetables that cook faster (for example I added spinach), the scallions and another clove of garlic. Cook for another 3-4 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and serve immediately!
