Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Kneading the beef with egg white and starch for a longer time creates a protective moisture barrier on the surface, preventing juice loss and maximizing tenderness when cooked.
  • Avoid overcooking the beef at high heat—excess time causes moisture loss and toughness. Remove the beef as soon as the surface is evenly cooked.
  • You can substitute beef ribeye with pork tenderloin or loin, sliced thinly, and prepare using the same method for equally delicious garlic sauce pork.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to serve restaurant-quality or upscale Chinese-style beef dishes at home.
  • People seeking a flavorful dish that balances garlic’s pungency with a sweet-tangy sauce.
  • Anyone curious about the technique for achieving soft, melt-in-the-mouth beef without dryness.
