As with any stir-fry, you want to have all your ingredients ready before you begin cooking.  This recipe goes very quickly.  I had Frank fry the eggs as I made the beef.  If you are not lucky enough to have a sous chef, the stir-fry beef will be fine kept warm in the wok until ready to serve.

Last year I celebrated the Letter H with Corned Beef and Cabbage Hash.
