This dish uses bits of beef, rather than ground beef, creating a harsher texture. Prepare the meat the night before, to allow the chopped beef bits to marinate in the egg batter, making them softer and easier to chew. A change of pace from the daily egg fare, it lends itself to an accompaniment of vegetables. Bits of broccoli, corn, peas, and carrots add a magnitude of texture, color, and flavor for days when plainer scrambles seem dull. Use a contrasting color chopping board. Various left over steaks can be used, even those that have had barbecue sauce on them.
