Beef Loc Lac - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 tablespoons fish sauce
    2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
    5 cloves garlic, minced
    1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons peanut oil
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    Rice:
    2 eggs, beaten
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
    3 cups cooked long-grain white rice
    2/3 cup plain tomato sauce
    Lemon Sauce:
    6 tablespoons lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped
Preparation
    Mix 1/4 cup soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger, and garlic together in a large bowl. Stir in beef cubes. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
    Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
    Place flour in a shallow bowl. Strain beef into the flour; toss to coat. Reserve marinade.
    Heat peanut oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes; saute until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to an oven-safe plate and place in the oven to keep warm.
    Cook eggs in the same wok until scrambled, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved marinade, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and Chinese five-spice powder; cook for 1 minute. Stir rice gradually into the wok until evenly distributed. Pour in tomato sauce; cook and stir until heated through, about 4 minutes.
    Whisk lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Divide evenly among 4 dipping cups.
    Serve beef with rice, lemon juice, and chopped onion.
