Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef (thinly sliced, such as ribeye or top sirloin)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and chopped green onions to create the marinade.
Place the thinly sliced beef into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add salt and black pepper, and beat until well combined. Set aside.
Place the all-purpose flour onto a large plate or shallow dish for dredging.
Remove the beef slices from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour, coating both sides lightly but evenly.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dip each floured beef slice into the beaten egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot skillet.
Cook the beef slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the egg coating is golden brown and the beef is cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining beef slices, adding more oil as needed.
Serve the Meat Jun warm with steamed rice and your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or a tangy vinegar-based sauce.
