Full of flavour and so simple. Substitute green pepper for the asparagus if it's not in season.
Method
-
Place the beef fillet, sake, soy sauce, ginger, sugar, garlic and chilli into a bowl and mix together well. Set aside and marinate for 30 minutes.
-
Heat a wok until hot and add the beef mixture. Stir-fry for two minutes, until the meat is browned all over.
-
Add the asparagus and mangetout and continue to stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender and the beef is cooked through.
-
Add the sesame oil and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
To serve, spoon the stir fry onto two plates and sprinkle each with the sesame seeds and garnish with a sprig of coriander.
