contents Let $X_D^\ast$ be the non-singuar locus of the Markoff surface $X_D\colon x^2+y^2+z^2=xyz+D$ and consider the set of its $p$-adic integer points $X_D^\ast(\mathbb{Z}_p)$. It is known to Bourgain, Gamburd, and Sarnak that the modulo $p$ transitivity by algebraic automorphisms of $X_0^\ast$ implies minimality of $X_0^\ast(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ by algebraic automorphisms. In this paper, we provide an alternative proof of this fact, by some techniques to study $p$-adic analytic flows. This establish a slight generalization to those parameters $D$ congruent to $0$ modulo $p^2$ or $(D-4)$ being a nonzero quadratic residue.
