Ingredients

Measured from the catalog payload.

  • 1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 14 oz button mushroom sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups beef broth
  • salt

Instructions

6 cooking steps

  1. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Using a fine mesh strainer, separate the crispy garlic from the oil and set the garlic aside for garnish.
  2. Reduce the garlic oil to 2 tablespoons in the pan. Increase heat to medium-high and sauté the sliced beef until it browns on all sides, about 4-5 minutes total.
  3. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, then season with salt, ground black pepper, and half of the toasted garlic. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously, cooking until the mixture turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the sliced mushrooms and bring to a simmer. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
  6. Add the cooked beef back to the pan and toss until well combined with the mushroom gravy. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Transfer to a serving plate, top with the remaining crispy garlic, and serve immediately.

Recipe notes

  • This dish pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice, garlic mashed potatoes, or buttered egg noodles.
  • Don’t let the garlic get too dark or it will become bitter. Golden brown is perfect!
  • Sirloin works great, but you can also use ribeye, strip steak, or even tenderloin for extra tenderness.
  • If the gravy gets too thick, add a little more beef broth. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
  • Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if needed.
