Pepper: Sprinkle some pepper for better taste.

Essential Tools
The right tools can make the preparation of scrambled egg beef much easier, and the effect is even more effective. Now I will tell you what tools are needed to make scrambled egg beef.
A high-quality wok is a must! We have to choose a wok that heats quickly and evenly, so that the conditions are good when frying beef and eggs.
An egg beater is also necessary! It is a good helper to beat the egg whites into a silky state, which is the key to making smooth eggs.
A spatula is also very important! When frying eggs and beef, you can use a spatula very flexibly. For example, shovel the solidified eggs at the bottom of the pan to the edge of the pan, so that the unsolidified egg liquid can flow back.
There is also a thermometer, which is optional, it depends on you. If you want to control the temperature very accurately, you can use it. Just like when frying beef, use a thermometer to pay attention to the temperature in the pan to ensure that the beef is fried just right.
With these tools, you can easily make delicious scrambled egg beef! Come and try it.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Dear friends, when making scrambled egg beef, I found a lot of mistakes that people often make. You must pay attention to these points!
First, don't skip the marinating step. Marinating is not just to make the beef taste good, it has a great impact on the taste of the beef! We have to marinate the beef in the prepared sauce and add some egg white, so that the beef will taste fresh and juicy. Don't be lazy in this step.
Second, the temperature must be controlled when frying beef. If the pan is not heated up before the beef is put in, the beef will easily stick to the pan and the taste will not be good. But if the pan is too hot, the surface of the beef will easily burn, but the inside is not cooked yet.
Third, the amount of oil used when frying eggs is critical. If too much oil is added, the fried eggs will be greasy; if too little oil is added, the eggs will not only stick to the pan easily, but also not be fluffy enough.
Finally, the operation when frying eggs must also be exquisite. If you don't pay attention to the heat and the coagulation of the egg liquid, the eggs will easily be overcooked and will not have that silky and tender taste. If you keep frying on high heat, the egg liquid will soon coagulate and the layered effect will not come out.

ACCESSORIES
- 20 grams of ginger
- 10 grams of scallion
SEASONINGS
- 1 gram of pepper
- 6 grams of salt
- 5 milliliters of soy sauce
- 5 milliliters of cooking wine
- 5 grams of corn starch
- 10 milliliters of peanut oil
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Prepare the Beef: Slice 150g of beef tenderloin along the grain and add ginger.
STEP 2
Marinate the Beef: Mix 5ml soy sauce, 5ml cooking wine, 1g pepper, and 5g salt. Pour this mixture over the beef slices. Add about 20g of egg white from 5 eggs and stir well. Incorporate 5g corn starch and mix thoroughly. Finally, add 5ml peanut oil. If possible, refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to marinate.
STEP 3
Cook the Beef: Heat a pan and add 5ml peanut oil. Let it cool slightly, then add the beef slices, spreading them out. Fry on low heat until just cooked, then turn them over and fry briefly before removing.
STEP 4
Prepare the Eggs: Separate the yolks and whites of 5 eggs. Remove any thin strands from the yolks. Add 1g salt and chopped green onions to the egg whites, and beat until smooth.
STEP 5
Combine Eggs and Beef: Reheat the pan until it smokes, then add 5ml peanut oil. Turn off the heat, and once the oil cools slightly, add the egg mixture and cooked beef.
STEP 6
Cook the Egg Mixture: Turn the heat back on. When the edges of the egg mixture set, turn off the heat. Use a spatula to move the set eggs to the pans edge. Repeat until the mixture is fully set.
STEP 7
Final Frying: Spread the eggs and beef evenly in the pan, fry on low heat for about 10 seconds, then remove. Serve on a plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Recipe Variations
Marinating method changes: You can try marinating beef with beer. Beer enzymes can break down proteins, making the beef more tender and unique in flavor. Marinate for 1-2 hours to avoid losing elasticity. You can also add a little honey to the sauce to make the beef more delicious and more attractive when fried.
Seasoning adjustment: If you like strong flavors, you can add dried chili powder or pepper powder when marinating; if you prefer sweet flavors, increase the amount of white sugar. Add a few drops of fish sauce to the egg liquid to make the eggs more layered.
Cooking tool changes: A frying pan can replace a wok, but pay attention to adjusting the heat. An electric baking pan can also be used. It can better control the temperature, so that the beef is heated evenly and tastes good.
Eating method changes: Scrambled egg beef is great with rice. Cover it on the rice and pour some sauce. It can also be sandwiched in a sandwich with vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes, and spread with mayonnaise or ketchup. If you want to try Western-style eating, it is also unique with French fries and salad.
Recipe Tips
Beef doneness: When frying beef, pay attention to the color and state of the beef to judge the doneness. Beef is best when it is just cooked. Fully cooked may make the beef old and woody. If you are not very experienced, you can insert chopsticks into the thickest part of the beef. If no blood seeps out, it is basically cooked. Undercooked beef may pose a food safety hazard, so be careful!
Oil temperature control: Whether it is frying beef or scrambled eggs, the oil temperature is critical. When frying beef, the oil temperature should not be too high, otherwise the surface of the beef will easily burn; when scrambling eggs, if the oil temperature is too high, the eggs will easily expand quickly and become old, and if the oil temperature is too low, the eggs will easily stick to the pan, which will affect the taste. You can test whether the oil temperature is appropriate by putting in a small piece of beef or dripping in a little egg liquid.
