Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add garlic slices and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add remaining 2 tbsp oil to the skillet and increase heat to high. Working in two batches, sear beef 90 seconds per side without stirring — edges should brown deeply.
Step 4
Return all beef to the skillet. Add soy sauce and vinegar, toss for 30 seconds until the surface glistens.
Step 5
Top with crispy garlic, cilantro, and scallion. Serve immediately over rice or with lettuce wraps.
