How to Make Beef In Hot Garlic Sauce
- Prepare ingredients: Thinly slice beef, chop spinach, mince garlic, and thinly slice chilies. Whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
- Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until the beef loses its redness and is lightly pink in the center.
- Add the chopped spinach and toss to wilt for about 1 minute.
- Pour in the fish sauce, chilies, and sugar. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
- If the sauce is too thin, slowly drizzle in the cornstarch slurry while stirring constantly until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
