Steak and Asparagus Stir Fry

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 Tbsp. black bean garlic sauce
• 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce

1. Whisk broth, black bean and oyster sauce, rice wine and 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a small bowl.
2. Toss steak with the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a medium bowl.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large flat-bottom wok or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add the steak and cook, stirring once, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate.
5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, asparagus and bell pepper to the pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in scallion whites and garlic; cook, stirring, about 30 seconds.
