For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sugar to the marinade. High heat is crucial for achieving the desired sear and caramelization on the beef. Adjust the amount of garlic and black pepper to your personal preference. Beef tenderloin is recommended, but sirloin or ribeye can also be used.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 hrs
Marinate the Beef: In a container with a lid, combine the beef cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, Cabernet Sauvignon wine, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure the beef is thoroughly coated. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor. (Marinating time: 30 minutes - 2 hours)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined. Set aside. (Preparation time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Cook the Beef: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and sear quickly on all sides. Then, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce and 4 minced garlic cloves. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a glossy glaze. This should take approximately 5-10 minutes. Adding the garlic in two stages enhances the overall flavor profile. (Cooking time: 5-10 minutes)
