Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin or flank steak
- 8 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef into bite-sized strips and place them in a bowl.
Peel and finely mince 6 cloves of garlic. Reserve the remaining 2 cloves, thinly sliced, for garnish.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk well to form the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef and mix thoroughly. Let the beef marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the marinated beef into the skillet and spread it out to ensure even cooking. Allow it to sear for 1-2 minutes before stirring.
Stir-fry the beef for another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Add sliced garlic and green onions to the skillet, stirring them in for the final minute of cooking. This gives a fresh garlic flavor and a touch of color.
Season with black pepper to taste and give everything a final toss before removing from heat.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying, garlic-forward main dish.
