Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 250 grams Asparagus
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 4 units Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of water, cornstarch, and black pepper. Add the sliced beef and mix well to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
Mince the garlic and ginger. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons of water, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the second tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour the oyster sauce mixture over the beef and asparagus. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 more minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Serve hot over steamed rice or as a standalone dish. Enjoy!
