Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the 1 lb sliced beef in a single layer and sear until browned on one side, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Flip the beef and add 2 minced garlic cloves and 3 tbsp soy sauce. Stir-fry until the beef is cooked through and the sauce coats the meat, about 2 more minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the 2 cups cooked rice between two bowls. Top with the beef and any pan juices.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and serve hot.
