- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 ounces arugula (4 cups)

- Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice the beef 1/8 inch thick, then cut into 3/4-inch-thick strips.
- In a medium bowl, toss the meat with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to coat.
- Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- Add the garlic; cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute.

- Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Wipe out the skillet.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the beef strips and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, about 1 minute.
