Beef with Garlic Stem Stirfry

Beef with Garlic Stem Stirfry. Garlic stem may not be normally found in Public Markets or most supermarket in Manila. I do regular see them at South Supermarket in Filinvest Alabang. When they are available or in season I regularly buy them for my stirfry dishes. In Fact I have already posted a pork stirfry with garlic several years back. Check my Pork with Garlic Stem Stirfry if you like to see how I cooked it

Today I will share a similar stirfry dish using beef. My Beef with Garlic Stem Stirfry is fairly simple to cook. The dish just made up of few ingredients. For my beef I use beef tenderloin. Beef tenderloin will cook at shorter time which made it ideal for stirfry dishes
