Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 1 pound asparagus
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by thinly slicing the beef sirloin against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the beef strips into a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Pour the mixture over the beef strips and toss to combine, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends and cutting the spears into 2-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves to make the sauce.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the asparagus to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pan along with the prepared sauce and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the ingredients are well combined.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and give it a final toss before removing from heat.

Step 10

Serve the stir-fried beef with asparagus immediately over steamed rice or your choice of side.
