This Garlic Steak Stir Fry is one of my absolute favorite dishes to eat on a weeknight. It's peppery, packed with garlic, and filled with tender cubes of steak, and is one of the best one pan recipes you'll make!

Place your cubed steak in a bowl and marinate with shaoxing wine, salt, and cornstarch for at least 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Add oil to a pan over medium heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom. Add in your peeled garlic cloves and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the outsides are golden and caramelized. Remove just the garlic cloves and set aside.
In the remaining garlic oil, add your marinated steak and cook for about 5 minutes until nicely browned and just cooked through.
Add the caramelized garlic back into the pan along with the sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the steak evenly.
Serve the steak over a fresh bowl of rice or enjoy it as is. It’s your food, you eat it how you like.

Notes
(1) I like to use flatiron steak because of its consistent marbling, but I've used NY strip, ribeye, and sirloin with this dish, and they've all turned out amazing too!
