Prepare the Breading Station:
- Set up two separate bowls: one with a mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch, and another with beaten egg.
- Dip each marinated beef slice into the egg mixture, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.

Fry the Beef:
- Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated beef slices until they are golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Make the Sauce:
- In a separate pan, heat a bit of oil and sauté finely chopped onions, shallots, and garlic until fragrant.
- Add tomato sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir well to combine.
- Incorporate the peeled tomato and add enough water to reach your desired sauce consistency.
- Add the beef bouillon cube and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Mix the cornstarch slurry into the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce has a glossy texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
