Stir-Fried Beef with Garlic Sauce
Tender pieces of stir-fried beef combine with an irresistibly creamy garlic sauce in this easy comfort meal that's on the table in just over an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon mild vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 pounds top sirloin, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz) unsalted butter
- 40 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 1/2 cups store-bought or homemade chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil.
- Sprinkle the beef with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the beef to the hot skillet, browning it evenly, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer it to a paper towel–lined plate. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Carefully wipe any residual liquid from the skillet. Add the butter and garlic cloves, and sauté until browned and fragrant, 4 to 6 minutes. Splash in 2 cups of the broth, the thyme, and rosemary. Simmer over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and cream until a paste forms. Pour in the remaining 1/2 cup broth, whisking until smooth.
- Return the beef to the skillet with the garlic and toss until heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat, pour the cream sauce into the hot skillet, and stir to combine. Let the sauce thicken, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve over cooked rice, potatoes, or pasta.
