Equipment

  • 1 pot

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1½ lbs sirloin steak or quality tender steak cut
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce Optional
  • 3 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • scallions garnish

Instructions

Prep and Make the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. Mix up and set aside. You can add two dashes of Worcestershire sauce if you want (optional).
  • Cut the steak to your liking.
    Pat the steak dry.
    Thin strips takes less time to cook and allows more sauce to coat the beef. If you are using filet, cubes are best. Use the salt and pepper to season the steak very well to your taste.

Make the Beef Salpicao

  • Heat your cast iron or Dutch oven. Medium-High heat. Then, add oil in pan.
  • When ready, drop in the minced garlic. Do not move the garlic so it starts to sear and crisp up for about a minute. Sauté until fragrant and remove immediately before it gets completely brown.
    You should remove the garlic and place it on a paper towel and set it aside so it becomes crisped.
  • Leave the oil and add a little more oil as needed. Turn up the heat.
  • Lay in the steak. Lay the steak pieces as individually as possible. Let the steak sit and begin to sear and brown. Give the steak some space to allow searing.
  • Remove the steak as soon as it is losing it's pink color and set aside. Do not overcook or let it cook throughly.
  • Pour in the sauce mixture. Let the sauce simmer for a minute.
  • Add the butter and melt it into the sauce. Continue to simmer the sauce for a minute.
  • Remove from the heat and let the sauce sit another minute.
  • Pour the creamy sauce all over the steak and incorporate together with about a quarter of the garlic.
  • Top the steak with all of the remaining crisped garlic. Add some scallions for garnish as well.
    Serve and enjoy!
