Ingredients

  • 12 oz flank or top sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 knob ginger, peeled and julienned
  • 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 ½ lb asparagus
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for stir-frying
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Place sliced beef in a bowl. Add ginger, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon oil and cornstarch; mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare the asparagus by rinsing under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Trim asparagus by snapping off woody ends and then cutting into 2-inch diagonal pieces.
  • In a bowl, prepare sauce by whisking together water, oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic and cornstrach. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until crisp tender. Transfer asparagus onto a plate and set aside.
  • Using the same pan, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add beef and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until no longer pink.
  • Give cornstarch mixture a final stir and then add to the pan. Add asparagus and stir to coat. Cook for a minute or two or until sauce slightly thickened. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
  • Remove from the heat and serve with steamed rice.
