Instructions
To make the marinade

Beef, garlic, Maggi or soy sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper, to taste, should all be combined in a bowl. Allow to rest for one hour at room temperature.
To make the salad
-
Step 1
Combine onion, two minced garlic cloves, sugar, salt, vinegar, and olive oil in a sizable serving bowl. Mix thoroughly and add black pepper to taste. Add tomatoes, mint, arugula, lettuce, fennel, and so forth. Mix by tossing.

Step 2
Add vegetable oil to a big skillet and heat it up. Add the remaining five minced garlic cloves. Add half of the beef cubes and cook for about a minute at medium-rare, shaking the pan as you go. Repeat with the remaining beef after setting aside.

Step 3
Serve salad and meat separately on four plates, or add the beef to the salad leaves and stir. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve with crusty French bread or rice, as desired.
Note
You can create shaking beef tacos by layering equal portions of steak, salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Add pickled shallots on top
