Ingredients
- 150g beef, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 bowl steamed rice
- 1 tsp cooking oil
- to taste green onions, chopped
Instructions
- 1Sear the Marinated Beef

Spray a light coating of oil into a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated beef slices and stir-fry continuously until the meat changes color and is cooked through.
Tip: Marinating the beef in advance with a little starch keeps the meat tender and juicy during the stir-fry process. - 2Continue Stir-frying

Keep the heat steady and continue stir-frying the beef until it is fully browned and evenly cooked. Once done, set the beef aside to keep the pan ready for the next step.
Tip: Dont overcook the beef; remove it from the pan once it has browned to maintain its tenderness. - 3Sauté the Red Onions

Add a little more oil to the pan if needed and toss in the sliced red onions. Stir-fry over medium heat until the onions become translucent and soft.
Tip: Red onions add a sweet, mild flavor that pairs perfectly with the savory beef. - 4Combine Beef and Onions

Return the cooked beef to the pan with the softened onions. Toss everything together briefly to ensure the flavors are well-distributed and everything is heated through.
Tip: Tossing the beef and onions together allows the juices from the meat to meld with the sweetness of the onions. - 5Add the Scrambled Eggs

Pour the beaten egg mixture—ideally mixed with a small amount of cornstarch water for extra smoothness—over the beef and onions in the pan. Maintain low heat to allow the eggs to set gently.
Tip: Adding a splash of cornstarch water to your beaten eggs makes them remarkably fluffy and soft. - 6Add the secret sauce

Lower the heat and drizzle the prepared secret sauce evenly over the beef, onion, and scrambled egg mixture. Gently stir to ensure every ingredient is coated in the savory sauce, which enhances the flavor to match a BBQ restaurant style.
Tip: Add the sauce only once the eggs are mostly set to keep the texture fluffy and prevent it from becoming too watery. - 7Garnish and serve

For the final touch, sprinkle a generous amount of fresh, chopped green onions over the finished dish. Turn off the heat and serve the aromatic beef and egg mixture over a bowl of steamed rice while hot.
Tip: Fresh green onions provide a necessary pop of color and a crisp, clean flavor that balances the rich sauce.
