Chinese stir-fry dishes are easy to prepare and cook. If you like a variation on taste, it's great knowing that most meat and vegetable combinations work well together.
Serves 4
Ingredients
500g beef tenderloin, sliced into strips
1 bunch asparagus,
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons root ginger, minced
3 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
5 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
2 tbsp sesame oil
salt
freshly ground black pepper
peanut oil
Place the salt, freshly ground black pepper, sesame oil and 2 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine in a bowl and marinate the beef tenderloin for at least 15 minutes. Marinating overnight in the fridge will make it more flavoursome.
Heat the oil in a wok or heavy-based frying pan and stir fry the beef in high heat in batches for 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
Add the oil and stir-fry the ginger and onion until soft.
With the asparagus, break at the spot where it becomes hard and discard. Cut the asparagus into short pieces and stir fry for a minute.
Add the beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce and Chinese cooking wine. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately with freshly cooked basmati or jasmine rice.
