  1. Combine the beef and soy sauce in a bowl. Mix well. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Melt the margarine in a pan. Add the annatto powder and stir.
  3. Add the garlic and sauté until it starts to brown. Add the onion and continue to sauté until it becomes soft.
  4. Add the marinated beef. Sauté until the outer part turns light brown. Make sure to stir frequently while cooking to ensure that all sides are cooked evenly.
