24. Stir Fry Beef and Asparagus in Oyster Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound flank steak or strip steak cut into thin slices, about 1/8″ thick
Marinade :
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice wine or sherry
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Stir-Fry Ingredients :
- 2 teaspoons ginger minced
- 2 tablespoons scallions chopped, green parts reserved for garnish
- 1 bunch asparagus tough bottoms broken off, cut into 1 1/2″ pieces
Stir-Fry Sauce :
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon organic sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Garnish :
- green parts of scallion from above
- toasted sesame seeds optional
Instructions
-
Mix together Marinade ingredients in a bowl and add steak slices. Mix Stir-Fry Sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and have Stir-Fry Ingredients ready on a plate or cutting board.
-
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. Remove a spoonful of oil and add to marinated beef; toss to loosen up meat. Add beef to wok and spread in a single layer; let brown then flip to brown other side (do not overcook – you want it to be rare inside at this point). Remove beef from wok using a slotted spoon.
-
Stir-fry ginger, white parts of scallion and asparagus in remaining oil until asparagus is crisp tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add Stir-Fry Sauce and beef; toss everything together and stir-fry another minute or two. Remove to serving bowl and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
