Instructions

1. Add the beef and the rest of the marinating ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Mix well and allow to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the beef and spread out into a single layer without overlapping. Cook until the bottom turns golden, about 1 minute. Flip to cook the other side until just cooked, about 1 minute. Transfer the beef to a large plate.

4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, onion, garlic and ginger. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.

5. Add the asparagus. Cook until just starting to soften, about 1 minute.

6. Stir the sauce again to fully dissolve the cornstarch and pour it into the pan. Stir a few times until it thickens.

7. Return the beef to the pan and stir to coat everything well. Transfer everything to a big plate and serve hot as a main dish.

Notes

To make the dish gluten-free, use tamari to replace the light and dark soy sauce. Make sure to use a gluten-free oyster sauce.
