- 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar

Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar until well combined.
- Marinate Beef: In a large bowl, combine the beef, minced garlic, black pepper, and the prepared marinade. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Sear Beef: Heat ½ cup of oil in a wok over high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches for about 1 minute until slightly charred.
