Step 1

In a bowl, combine beef, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Stir well. Add the cornstarch and mix until meat is well coated. Marinade for a few minutes or until ready to use.

Step 2

Add oil and garlic to a wok or large pan and turn the heat to medium-low. Fry garlic until lightly golden and crispy. Remove the garlic from the oil.

Step 3

In the same wok or pan with oil, turn the heat to high. Once hot, add the meat and spread it in the pan evenly. If needed, do this in 2 batches. Once added to the wok or pan, do not stir the meat for about a minute or until the bottom side is brown and lightly charred. Then stir to cook the other side. Remember not to overcook the meat. 2 minutes per batch tops.

Step 4

Add the first batch back to the pan (if done in batches). Move the meat to the sides and add butter. Stir and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the oyster sauce and stir to coat the meat, then allow the meat to absorb the sauce. Add back the fried garlic, stir and turn off the heat.

Step 6

Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with parleys or chives if available.
