1. Step 1

   Start by preparing your beef chuck roast: trim away any excess fat and gristle, then slice it into strips that are about half an inch thick and two inches long.

2. Step 2

   Season these beef strips with half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of black pepper to enhance their flavor.

3. Step 3

   In a large skillet, melt some butter over medium heat, allowing it to sizzle invitingly.

   Once the butter is ready, add the seasoned beef strips and sear them quickly, turning to brown all sides until they develop a lovely golden crust.

5. Step 5

   When the beef is beautifully browned, gently push it to one side of the skillet.

6. Step 6

   On the empty side, toss in sliced green onions and sauté them for three to five minutes until they soften and become fragrant, then mix them in with the beef for a burst of flavor.

   Next, sprinkle flour over the juices left in the skillet and stir it in to create a rich base.
