Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices.

Return the pan to heat, add 1 T oil, 1/2 garlic and cook until fragant. Add the beef, blanch them by letting them lay flat for 30 - 40 seconds, and then stirring to separate the pieces. Add fish sauce and pepper to taste and remove when it is nearly cooked (just turns color), about 1-2 minutes.
