TORTANG GINILING (FILIPINO BEEF OMELETTE)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the diced tomato to the skillet and continue cooking for 5 minutes, letting the tomatoes release their juices.
• Add the ground beef to the vegetables and saute until browned, 5-7 minutes.
• Add the salt and pepper. Mix well. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and pepper as desired.
• Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the peas and let the mixture cool slightly.
• Once the meat mixture has cooled, add the beaten eggs and mix well.
• Wipe out the skillet you used for the meat and heat a little oil in it, over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and spoon ¼ c of the egg and beef mixture into the skillet, flatten the mixture and shape it roughly into a 3-4 inch patty. (Depending on the size of your skillet, you may be able to cook more than one omelette at a time. Just be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or flipping the omelettes will be difficult.)
• Cook the omelette for 2-3 minutes on the first side. (If your omelettes cook faster than this, your pan is too hot. Reduce the heat for the next batch.)
• Flip the omelette and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the second side, until golden.
• Transfer the omelette to a paper towel-lined plate and continue with the remaining batter. (Keeping the plate with the cooked omelettes in a very low oven will keep them warm until all are made.)
