Garlic Beef
My mom made this for the first time a couple of years ago, and it immediately became a family favorite!
After looking at the ingredient list, and reading the name, you would get the impression that this dish is strong in garlic flavor. Surprisingly, it isn't. The garlic adds a certain richness, a specific sweetness that is so unexpected from the name.
We like to serve this dish with rice, (coconut rice is my favorite.) and a side of broccoli. But you could also serve this with noodles or even potatoes!
Heat pan over high heat. Add the oil, and then add the garlic once the oil is hot. The garlic will probably dance a little. Stir the garlic and cook until it is all golden brown. Add the cubed beef. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Add the vinegar and allow to reduce a little bit. Add the salt, sugar, soy sauce, and broth. Bring to a boil, and reduce. Let this simmer for at least 1 1/2 hours. If it starts to look a little dry, add some water.
Right before serving, bring to a boil again, and add the dissolved cornstarch and green onions. Cook for a minute.
Serve!
This dish is perfect for if you have some meat that is very tough. I made this for dinner last night, and made it with some tough kangaroo meat that we have. The long cooking process, along with the vinegar, helps to break down the meat, and make it extremely tender! Like fall apart in your mouth tender!
I hope you enjoy this dish!
