Ingredients

  • 1 lb ribeye steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • ½ teaspoon light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Add the beef to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside while making the sauce.
  • In a small bowl, add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and everything is combined.
  • Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic until lightly golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side. Add the sauce and butter, tossing the beef to coat it and allowing the butter to melt. Top with the garlic and serve.

Notes

  • Be consistent with the size you cut the beef so it cooks evenly.
  • You can let the beef marinate with the salt and pepper and 2 tablespoon of the sauce for an hour as it helps tenderize the beef even more.
  • Cook the beef in batches so you don't overload the skillet and cool it down. You want to cook the beef quickly and adding too much at a time will slow the cooking process.
  • Do not overcook the beef or it will be tough. Max 2 minutes per side.
  • If you want more heat, add crushed red peppers in ¼ teaspoon increments.
