Beef, Onion & Mushroom Stir-Fry Over Rice is a savory, satisfying meal featuring tender beef, sautéed onions, and earthy mushrooms in a rich stir-fry sauce. Served over fluffy rice, this quick and customizable dish is perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (flank steak, sirloin, or skirt steak)
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion, sliced
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button, cremini, or shiitake)
  • 4 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or hoisin for a sweeter option)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water or beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • Optional: sliced green onions or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss sliced beef with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned, about 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add another tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Sauté onions and mushrooms for 5–7 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return the beef to the pan. Add remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water or broth. Stir well and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients.
  6. Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Add bell peppers, broccoli, or snow peas for extra veggies.
  • Swap beef for chicken, tofu, or shrimp for variety.
  • Use tamari and a gluten-free oyster sauce to make it gluten-free.
  • Pre-cooked rice works great—just reheat before serving.
  • Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
