• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons palm sugar
• 2 tablespoons chinese rice wine
• 1 spring onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 4 tablespoons peanut oil

directions

1. * Mix the garlic, soy sauce, sugar, rice wine, spring onion and pepper with half the oil in a large bowl and add the steak.
2. * Mix well, cover and leave in the refrigerator overnight.
3. * Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan, and when it is just beginning to smoke, put in the beef cubes, in one layer. Cook, without stirring, for about 1 minute - there should be a thin crust at the bottom.

Within the space of 5 days, we made this recipe twice. It is that good. One thing I did that was done out of necessity was to use 4 tbsps of Kecap Manis instead of the 2 tbsps each of soy sauce and palm sugar. I also added a little sliced bird's eye chilli to add a little zing to the dish. Due to changes in plans, the beef ended up in the fridge for 4 days before they got cooked. Apparently, that was okay for we really, really enjoyed the dish. Thank you for posting.
