Garlic Beef (蒜香牛肉粒)

Garlic beef is a scrumptious dish that you can easily put together. The tender and juicy beef pieces are cooked in a savory and sweet brown sauce along with buttery garlic. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, garlic beef is a dish that promises satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. {Gluten-Free Adaptable}To make the dish gluten free, use dry sherry instead of Shaoxing wine. Use tamari to replace soy sauce. And make sure to use a gluten-free oyster sauce.

Ingredients

Servings

Marinating

  • 1 lb (450 g) flank steak , diced into 1” (2 cm) cubes
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Stir Fry

  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 heads garlic , peeled, outer larger cloves halved lengthwise

Instructions

  1. Combine all the marinating ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Let sit for 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and turn to medium-low heat. Cook and stir until the garlic has turned golden on both sides, but not too browned. Transfer the garlic to a plate and set aside. Reserve the garlic oil in the pan.
  4. Spread the beef in the pan without overlapping and turn to medium-high heat. Let the bottom cook without touching until turning golden brown, 2 minutes or so. Flip to cook the other sides, until most sides have browned and the inside is still a bit pink (the beef will continue to cook until done in the sauce).
  5. Add back the cooked garlic and butter. Turn to medium heat again. Stir and cook until the butter melts.
  6. Pour in the sauce. Stir immediately to coat everything while the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer everything into a plate and serve hot over rice as a main dish.
