Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the sliced beef with the minced garlic, softened butter, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until the beef is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Prepare the Grill
Heat your grill to a medium-high temperature. Alternatively, you can use a heavy-bottomed skillet or a grill pan on the stovetop.
Grill the Beef
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated beef slices on the grate. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness. While grilling, you can brush any remaining marinade onto the beef to intensify the flavor.
Rest and Serve
Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful bite. Serve the sizzling garlic butter beef hot with fresh rice, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomatoes.
