Oyster Sauce Asparagus Beef

Oyster Sauce Asparagus Beef

This savory **Beef and Asparagus Stir-Fry** is a quick, flavorful dish that combines tender beef cubes with crisp asparagus in a rich, umami-packed sauce. Marinated with oyster sauce, black pepper, and a hint of sugar, the beef becomes incredibly juicy and aromatic. Fresh garlic and ginger add a fragrant depth, while a splash of soy sauce enhances the color and savoriness. The asparagus stays perfectly crisp-tender, stir-fried just until vibrant. What makes this recipe special is the double-layering of oyster sauce and black pepper—first in the marinade, then again while stir-frying—creating a bold, well-balanced flavor in every bite. Ready in under 30 minutes, this dish is ideal for a busy weeknight yet impressive enough for guests. Serve it over steamed rice for a complete, satisfying meal!
