Ingredients

350g Sliced Beef
1 inch Ginger (minced/grated)
2 tbsp Soya Sauce
3 tbsp Cooking Oil
1 tbsp Cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water)
200 g Asparagus
1 Red Onion (sliced)

1 Red Chilli (sliced)
1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
¼ tsp Chicken Stock Granules (mix with 60ml water)
1 stalk Coriander leaves*

Instructions

Slice the beef into strips, ensuring you cut against the grain.
Marinate the beef with the ginger, soy sauce, 1 tbsp cooking oil, and mixed cornstarch and set aside for at least 15 mins.
Meanwhile rinse and pat dry the asparagus, cut off the woody ends and then cut into 2 inch pieces.
Heat up 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pan and onion & garlic until fragrant, then add the asparagus, red chilli and oyster sauce and stir fry on medium heat for 2 minutes or until crisp tender, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat up another 1 tbsp cooking oil then pour in the beef mixture and chicken stock on high heat for 3-4 mins or until no longer pink.
Finally add in the asparagus and stir. Serve with some coriander* and toasted sesame seeds* (Optional)

*NB: We used topside steak but you can also use tenderloin or sirloin.
