Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef flank steak
- 1 pound asparagus
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef flank steak across the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the beef in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the beef and toss to coat. Let the beef marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Set them aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet, along with the sauce mixture. Stir everything together and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
If the sauce is too thick, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of water to loosen it. Mix well.
Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy your Beef and Asparagus Stir Fry!
