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

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef flank steak across the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the beef in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Set them aside.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Add the asparagus to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

If the sauce is too thick, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of water to loosen it. Mix well.

Step 12

Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy your Beef and Asparagus Stir Fry!
