A delightful stir-fry featuring tender beef, fresh asparagus, and carrots in a savory sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Combine the light soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, fresh ginger, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Slice the sirloin beef thinly against the grain and add it to the marinade. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Cutting against the grain ensures the beef remains tender when cooked.
Trim the asparagus and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
Heat a wok over high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry the marinated beef until browned and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
Cook the beef in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok.
In the same wok, add the asparagus and carrots. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender.
Keep the vegetables crisp by not overcooking them.
Mix the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Add this sauce to the wok with the vegetables.
Adjust the sauce ingredients to taste for a perfect balance of flavors.
Return the cooked beef to the wok and stir to combine. Mix the cornstarch with cold water and add to the wok to thicken the sauce.
Stir continuously after adding the cornstarch mixture to prevent lumps.
Serve the stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
