Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced sirloin with 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
-
Prepare the Omelet: Lightly beat the eggs and cook them into a thin omelet. Set aside on a serving plate.

Sauté Aromatics: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions, garlic, and smashed ginger until they are softened and aromatic.

Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Add the marinated beef and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry until the beef changes color and is nearly cooked through.

Add Petai and Mushrooms: Stir in the stink beans and mushrooms. Mix well to combine.

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the tomato ketchup, HP sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, sweet soy sauce, and chicken broth. Pour this sauce mixture into the pan with the beef and vegetables. Stir well and let it simmer until the beef is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.
-
Thicken the Sauce: Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in the tapioca flour mixture to thicken the sauce. Cook for another minute until the sauce is glossy and coats the ingredients well.
-
Serve: Pour the beef mixture over the omelet on the serving plate. Serve hot with steamed white rice.
