- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, freshly ground black pepper, sugar, and sesame oil to form the sauce. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef to the pan and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan, followed by the minced garlic. Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the pan and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
Return the cooked beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together, ensuring the beef and asparagus are evenly coated.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
