Ingredients:
Sliced flank steak
1/4 head cabbage, shredded
1/2 onion, shredded
3 carrots, shredded
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 TBS cornstarch
8-10 eggs
Avocado oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Vegetables:
Shred the cabbage, onion, and carrots finely. Chop the green onions. Set aside.
Marinate the Flank Steak:
Slice the flank steak into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the steak with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Ensure the beef is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
Cook the Beef:
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of avocado oil.
Stir-fry the marinated flank steak until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
Whisk the Eggs:
In a large mixing bowl, crack and whisk the eggs. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce to the eggs. Mix until smooth.
Combine Egg Mixture and Vegetables:
Add veggie and meat to bowl (if beef is still hot, add slowly as to not scramble eggs). Stir well to combine, ensuring that the eggs coat the ingredients evenly.
Cook the Egg Foo Young Patties:
In a clean skillet, heat avocado oil over medium heat.
Spoon portions of the egg and vegetable mixture into the skillet to form small patties. Cook until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side until fully cooked.
Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer the Beef Egg Foo Young patties to a serving plate.
Serve hot with a side of soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions for a burst of freshness. Beef Egg Foo Young makes for a satisfying and versatile meal – enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with rice or noodles on the side. Now, savor the homemade goodness of this Chinese omelette!
