Preparation

• Cut the tenderloin into ½ inch cube. Place it in a mixing bowl and add in garlic, salt, ground pepper and olive oil.
• Stir to properly combine, let stand to marinate for about 15 minutes.
• For the meantime, combine the liquid seasoning, oyster sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Using a wok or any steel or cast iron frying pan that can handle extreme heat, heat the vegetable oil over high flame.
• Fry the marinated beef in batches to avoid over-crowding the bottom of the wok or frying pan and properly sear the meat pieces.
• For 300 g of meat, 2 batches should be sufficient. Cook only for several minute to retain the juice inside the meat. Transfer in a plate and set aside. Continue frying the other batch.
• When the last batch is done return the first batch in the wok or pan. Add the seasoning-sauce mixture and stir fry for a minute more.
• Add the butter and stir once more. When the meat and sauce starts to sizzle, turn off the heat.
• Transfer in a medium plate and serve immediately. Whether with garlic fried rice or steamed rice, it will still come out as a truly wonderful meal.
• The rich sauce is just so good to be slathered on rice. For as long as the right cooking period was attained the meat will be tender, juicy and yummy.
