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

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef into bite-sized strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince 6 cloves of garlic. Reserve the remaining 2 cloves, thinly sliced, for garnish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk well to form the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the beef and mix thoroughly. Let the beef marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Stir-fry the beef for another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Season with black pepper to taste and give everything a final toss before removing from heat.

Step 11

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying, garlic-forward main dish.
