Garlic Steak Stir Fry

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!

Ingredients

Stir Fry

  • 1 lb flatiron steak cut into bite-sized cubes, see note 1
  • 1 tbsp shaoxing wine
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 10-12 garlic cloves peeled

Stir Fry Sauce

Optional Garnish

  • Rice for serving

Instructions

  • 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!
