Cut the beef when it is partially frozen, and cut it across the grain into thin slices.

Then stir in 1 teaspoon peanut oil and marinate the beef for one hour or more in the refrigerator.

Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil over high heat, add ½ teaspoon salt.

Stir in asparagus.

Add ¼ cup water. Cover pan for 2 minutes, and do not lift lid.

When done, remove to a platter.

Over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Stir-fry the RINSED black beans and garlic mixture.

Stir for a few seconds. Add the beef. Stir-fry quickly until barely.

Do not overcook or the beef will become tough. Sizzle in 1 tablespoon of rice wine and 2 teaspoons of soy sauce.

Stir in asparagus.

Add gravy mixture.

Stir until thickened. Serve hot.
