2 large shallots, minced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb sirloin or rump steak, sliced into

3 tbsp sauce
3 carrots, peeled and diced
4 wild mushrooms; if dried, soak in warm

1 small can bamboo shoots, drained
1/2 lb fresh water chestnuts, peeled and

1 cup beef broth
2 eggs

1 tsp sesame oil

Method :
In a large
saucepan, render the pork fat, strain and discard solids, and return fat
to pan and reheat over medium flame. Saute the shallots and garlic for 2-3
minutes, raise heat slightly, add the beef, and stir to sear evenly. Lower
heat to medium, add the 3 tbsp of fish sauce, diced carrots, sliced
mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, diced tomatoes, salt and beef
broth. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, uncovered. Do not let it dry out.
Beat two eggs
in a small bowl, add the Chinese parsley, the teaspoon of fish sauce, and
minced scallion greens from one of the scallions. Heat 1 tsp of sesame oil
to coat a small skillet, pour in egg mixture, tipping skillet to form a
flat sheet of egg. Cover and cook until egg is set. Turn out onto a board
of plate. When cool, roll up and slice. When beef is cooked, add freshly
ground pepper and salt, if needed. Pour into a heated serving dish and
garnish with omelette strips, coriander leaves, and the remaining
scallions sliced.
