Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the beef slices with light soy sauce, cornstarch, and cooking oil for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, black pepper sauce, sugar, dark soy sauce, water or beef broth, and cornstarch. Mix well to form the black pepper sauce mixture.

3. 3

   Heat cooking oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat until smoking. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry quickly for 1-2 minutes until just browned on the outside. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same wok, add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add asparagus and red bell pepper (if using). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until asparagus is crisp-tender.

5. 5

   Return the beef to the wok. Pour in the prepared black pepper sauce mixture. Stir-fry constantly for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables evenly.

6. 6

   Serve hot immediately with steamed rice.
