This is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover smoked brisket — turned into fried rice right on the Blackstone. Like most fried rice, it works best with rice that’s been cooked and refrigerated ahead of time; the extra day in the fridge dries the grains out just enough that they fry up instead of turning mushy.

I got everything going on the griddle at the same time — the day-old rice, chopped leftover brisket, diced peppers, and a few eggs cracked straight onto the griddle — each in its own zone so nothing overcooked while I worked through the rest.

Once everything had picked up some color, I broke up the eggs and started folding it all together — rice, brisket, peppers, and egg — letting it fry together on the hot griddle until it was all heated through with a little char on it.
