Roasted potatoes or a bed of lettucefor serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the oil with the cornstarch, salt, pepper, and oyster sauce (if using).
Mix well. Add the steak and toss well to coat. Cover the bowl and set it aside for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the red wine sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine the red wine, Maggi sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Cover the bowl and set aside. Note: As we only use 2 tablespoons for each serving, you can save the extra wine sauce for future meals or increase the amount of meat.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
When the oil is hot (a small piece of garlic dropped in it will sizzle instantly), reduce the heat to medium. Add half of he marinated steak and sear for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and sear for 1 minute on the other side.
Add 2 teaspoons of the minced garlic and shake the pan for 30 seconds. Then add 2 tablespoons of the red wine sauce and cook for 2 minutes, shaking the pan continuously. The meat will be nicely browned and medium rare. Cook longer for more well-done meat. Spoon the steak onto a serving plate.
Repeat the process with the other half of the steak and the remaining garlic. Note: You don't want to overcrowd the pan, as it is important to keep the wok very hot for tender and flavorful steak.
