Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the peeled whole garlic cloves to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the outside of the garlic cloves are golden brown and slightly caramelized. Using a slotted spoon, remove only the garlic cloves from the pan, leaving the infused oil behind. Set the garlic aside.

Increase the heat to high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan if needed. Add the marinated steak cubes to the hot pan in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, stirring occasionally, until the steak is nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside with the garlic.
