Easy beef and garlic stir fry (蒜香牛肉粒). This is a very popular beef dish in Chinese restaurants. You will never know that the whole garlic cloves can be the best parts of dishes. Sometimes, we add garlic cloves in hot broths or simmered dishes like this claypot chicken wings. They perform so well as a side ingredient, even better than working as aromatics.

      1. Hi Jonathan,
        We add cornstarch or other starch to coat the meat if you pursue a soft texture. Sometimes, we don’t add starch because we want to get a more aromatic surface like what did in pan-fried beef steaks.

    I’ve made this dish a few times before. Can’t go wrong. Turns out perfect each and every time. I just skip the salt in the sauce mix. Thank you for the wonderful recipes!
