Garlic pepper beef with mushroom gravy
Tender beef sirloin is stir-fried with garlic and black pepper, drizzled with a rich mushroom gravy, and served with piping hot rice.
Device
1 large frying pan or wok For frying garlic and cooking beef
1 Fine mesh strainer For separating crispy garlic and oil
1 whisk For making smooth gravy sauce
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Using a fine-mesh strainer, separate the crispy garlic from the oil, reserving the garlic for garnish.
1 1/2 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup cooking oil
Reduce garlic oil to 2 tablespoons in pot. Increase heat to medium-high and fry sliced beef until browned on all sides, about 4 to 5 minutes total.
1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin
Add soy sauce and oyster sauce, and season to taste with salt, coarsely ground black pepper, and half of the sautéed garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and continue to whisk and cook until the mixture is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
3 tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pour in the beef broth little by little, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the sliced mushrooms and bring to a simmer. Stir until sauce thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
14 ounces button mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 3/4 cups beef broth; salt
Return the cooked beef to the pot and stir with the mushroom gravy until well combined. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Transfer to a plate, top with remaining crispy garlic, and serve immediately.
Precautions
This dish pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice, garlic mashed potatoes, or buttered egg noodles. Be careful not to let the garlic thicken too much or it will become bitter. Golden brown is perfect! Sirloin is best, but you can also use ribeye, strip steak, or even tenderloin for extra tenderness. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more beef stock. If it’s too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add more broth if needed and reheat slowly on the stove.
