Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound lean top sirloin, sliced into thin strips
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil, divided
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed, cut on diagonal into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 small bunch green onions, cut on diagonal into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2/3 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Combine beef and cornstarch in large bowl. Using hands, rub to coat well.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add beef in single layer and cook, undisturbed, until meat begins to blacken on bottom, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn over and cook until second side browns, about 1 minute. Transfer beef to large plate.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, green onions, and ginger; sauté until vegetables are tinged brown and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add broth, fish sauce, and sugar; bring to boil. Return beef to skillet and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer to platter and serve.
