Ingredients

200g beef, thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 small carrot, grated
2 large eggs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp cooking oil (plus extra for frying)
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work great)
Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

Prep the Beef: In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp cooking oil. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Cook the Beef: Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until fragrant. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in the grated zucchini and carrot, stirring until softened. Season with a pinch of salt, then spread the veggies evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
Add the Eggs: Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them over the veggies. Let the eggs cook until they’re halfway set, forming a soft base for the patty.
Assemble the Patty: Spread the cooked beef evenly over the partially set eggs. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, colorful touch. Carefully transfer the patty to a plate, slice, and serve warm.

Tips for Success

Low and Slow: Keep the heat low throughout to avoid burning the bottom of the patty.
Customize It: Feel free to swap in your favorite veggies or cheese to make it your own.
Meal Prep Friendly: These patties reheat beautifully, making them perfect for lunchboxes or quick dinners.
