Soy-Garlic Beef Slices

Steps

How to make it

Prep 8 min · Cook 8 min

1. Slice beef 150 g thin against the grain (about 0.3 cm) and pat dry; mince 4 garlic cloves. Mix 1.5 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, a pinch of black pepper, and minced garlic into a sauce.
2. Toss beef slices with half the sauce; rest 5 minutes to marinate.
3. Heat 1.5 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high; lay beef in a single layer and rest 30 seconds until the surface colors.
4. Stir-fry quickly 1 minute until about 70–80% done (center still slightly pink); remove to a plate.
5. In the same pan, pour in the remaining sauce and simmer over low heat 30 seconds until lightly thickened and bubbling.
6. Return beef and toss over high heat 30 seconds to coat; serve when fully cooked but still tender.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

• Thinner slices need less time and stay more tender.
• Rest meat for 2–3 minutes before slicing; when pieces vary in thickness, check the thickest center for doneness.
