Asian Beef with Vegetables and Fried Eggs

Posted on Oct 4, 2015 in Homemade Treats

I am obsessed with eggs. Add a fried egg to anything and it brings the dish to a higher level.

So I was excited when I stumbled across this recipe in Cooking Light.

I’ve made a few adjustments and it is my go-to dinner anytime!

The sauce is very easy, just a few ingredients (though you may need to hit up an Asian market for them) – soy sauce, Korean hot pepper paste, fish sauce, sugar and sesame oil

Stir fry the beef, then add the sauce

While meat cooks, prepare your veggies.

Remove the meat, place in a bowl and cover to keep warm. Stir fry the veggies and mushrooms

While the veggies cook, fry the eggs in a nonstick skillet until desired doneness (I like a runny yolk)

Place steamed rice in 2 bowls, top with beef, veggies and egg – Enjoy!
