Ingredients
 

  • 500g beef, thinly sliced (sirloin or ribeye works best)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting the garlic)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 200g mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for the mushroom sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for the mushroom sauce)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for the mushroom sauce)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon flour (to thicken the sauce)
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Once done, remove the garlic from the pan and set aside for later use as a topping.
  • In the same pan, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and sauté with oyster sauce, soy sauce, mirin, and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5 more minutes.
  • Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle with black pepper. Add a splash of water to help the sauce come together. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the mushrooms and onions to absorb the flavors.
  • Gradually sprinkle in the flour while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to a smooth consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a bit more water to loosen it up.
  • Return the sautéed beef to the pan with the mushroom and onion sauce. Stir everything together, letting it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Transfer the Garlic Pepper Beef with Mushrooms and Onions to a serving dish. Generously top the dish with the crispy minced garlic for added crunch and flavor. Serve hot over steamed rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Beef Cut: Use thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak works well) to ensure it cooks quickly and stays tender.
  • Garlic Topping: Toast garlic in a small amount of oil until golden brown. Set aside for garnish; it adds that signature crispy garlic topping that elevates the dish.
