Tips & Substitutions
For a more tender beef, marinate it longer with salt and wine. You can substitute cornstarch with flour if needed, but the texture might differ slightly. If you want more flavor, add garlic or ginger when stir-frying the beef. Ensure your pan is very hot for a good sear, which enhances the dish's overall taste.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat to maintain the texture of the beef and eggs. Adding a splash of water can help steam the dish, preventing it from drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the beef tough.
