Ingredients
Scale
Beef Marinade
- 1/2 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- Pinch of salt
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
Instructions
- Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly and let it marinate for 15–20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare the eggs: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs with milk or water and a pinch of salt until well blended and slightly frothy.
- Cook the beef: Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same pan, add more oil if necessary. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook the eggs: Pour in the beaten eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally to form soft curds. Do not over-stir to keep the eggs tender and moist.
- Combine beef and eggs: Return the cooked beef to the pan and add the chopped green onions. Stir gently to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the eggs are just set.
- Serve: Remove from heat and immediately serve the dish hot, ideally over steamed rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Add a splash of Shaoxing wine to the beef marinade for a deeper flavor profile.
- For a spicier twist, incorporate a pinch of chili flakes or a few drops of chili oil during the egg cooking stage.
