Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Sear the beef patties
    Ground beef being broken down in a hot frying pan with a spatula.

    Place three beef patties into a frying pan. Use a spatula to break them into smaller pieces and fry until the meat is fragrant and the fat has rendered.

    Tip: Breaking the meat apart ensures even cooking and better flavor extraction.
  2. 2Break down the beef
    Ground beef being crumbled and broken apart in a hot frying pan using a white spatula.

    Place three beef patties into a frying pan over medium heat. Use a spatula to break them apart into smaller, crumbled pieces as they cook and the fat begins to render.

    Tip: Breaking the meat into consistent pieces ensures it browns evenly.
  3. 3Season the beef
    Sautéed ground beef and chopped red onion being seasoned with sauces in a frying pan.

    Once the beef is browned, add chopped red onions to the pan. Season the mixture with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a dash of black pepper, stirring everything well to combine the flavors.

    Tip: Sautéing the onions with the beef helps sweeten the overall flavor profile of the dish.
  4. 4Add eggs
    Beaten eggs being poured from a glass measuring cup into a pan with browned beef and onions.

    Pour a mixture of beaten eggs, seasoned with a pinch of salt, evenly over the cooked beef and onion mixture in the pan.

    Tip: Keep the heat at medium-low when adding the eggs to prevent them from scrambling too quickly.
  5. 5Add cheese and steam
    Slices of processed cheese being layered on top of cooking eggs and ground beef in a skillet.

    Place cheese slices directly over the top of the egg and beef mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.

    Tip: Using a lid traps the heat, which helps melt the cheese perfectly and cooks the top of the eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, ground beef works perfectly. Simply use about 200g of ground beef and follow the same browning process.
Processed American cheese or a mild cheddar slice works best for that signature gooey, melted texture.
This dish is best served immediately while the eggs are fresh and the cheese is melted. It does not reheat well due to the egg texture.
