Directions

1. Whisk garlic, ginger, pepper, sesame oil, and 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a medium bowl. Add beef, season with salt, and toss to coat.
2. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high. Wait until you see some wisps of smokeif it's not hot enough, the meat will steam instead of getting deeply brownedthen, working in batches if needed, arrange steak in skillet in an even layer (it's okay to crowd it a bit) and cook, pressing down on pieces to ensure good contact with the pan, until brown around the edges, about 1 minute. Turn steak over and add sliced celery and scallions. Cook, tossing often, until celery is slightly tender but still has some good crunch and scallions are lightly charred, about 2 minutes.
3. Remove skillet from heat and add soy sauce, vinegar, butter, and 3 Tbsp. water. Toss, until butter is melted and sauce coats steak (still off heat). Add celery leaves and toss until slightly wilted. Season with more salt if needed.
4. Divide rice among bowls and top with beef stir-fry.
