Every home cook should have a good beef fried rice recipe because it’s super simple and quick to make, it’s delicious, can be frozen, and it tastes great reheated the next day, or even 3 days later, making it a perfect candidate for cooking ahead. With that said, here is my best beef fried rice recipe that is so good and so satisfying that your family will love you for it. It may taste like comfort food but at less than 500 calories per serving it hardly is. I am sure you will be making it over and over again.
Cherry tomatoes are not a typical ingredient in beef fried rice but I like adding them anyway as their acidity and brightness help balance out the richness of the butter fried rice. And, in general, they seem to go very well with this dish. I sometimes substitute cherry tomatoes for sliced pickles which are also acidic and work really well with this dish.
