Ingredients
  

  • 150 g beef tenderloin thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes chopped into wedges
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp water

For the marinade

  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

Marinate the beef

  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  • Mix together with cornstarch, sugar, oil, soy sauce, and black pepper.
  • Marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Prepare other ingredients

  • Slice the tomatoes into wedges, set aside.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

Scramble the eggs

  • Heat about 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, then immediately turn down the heat to medium.
  • Use a spatula to push the sides to the centre until the scrambled eggs are soft and still slightly runny.
  • Turn off the heat and use the spatula to break them up into smaller pieces. Remove and set aside.

Cook the beef

  • Using the same pan, heat some oil, and stir-fry the beef until just browned.
  • Remove and set aside.

Stir-fry tomatoes

  • Add tomato wedges to the same pan, then stir-fry until softened.
  • Add in water, sugar, and ketchup, then simmer for another 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes break down slightly.

Combine everything

  • Transfer the beef and scrambled eggs back to the pan, then toss to mix and heat through.

Serve

  • Garnish with chopped spring onions, and enjoy with steamed rice.
