Ingredients
- ¾ lb beef sirloin or ribeye, sliced thin against the grain
- 8 cloves garlic cloves, sliced thin
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 3 tbsp neutral oil
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro and scallion, chopped
Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
- 2
Add garlic slices and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- 3
Add remaining 2 tbsp oil to the skillet and increase heat to high. Working in two batches, sear beef 90 seconds per side without stirring — edges should brown deeply.
- 4
Return all beef to the skillet. Add soy sauce and vinegar, toss for 30 seconds until the surface glistens.
- 5
Top with crispy garlic, cilantro, and scallion. Serve immediately over rice or with lettuce wraps.
