- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, onion, garlic and ginger. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Add the asparagus. Cook until just starting to soften, 1 minute or so.
- Stir the sauce again to fully dissolve the cornstarch and pour it into the pan. Stir a few times until it thickens.
- Return the beef to the pan and stir to coat everything well. Transfer everything to a big plate and serve hot as a main dish.
