Beef and Asparagus Stir-Fry

• 1 12 lbs sirloin steaks, cut into thin strips
• salt
• fresh ground pepper
• 14 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 1 teaspoon chili oil
• 14 cup peanut oil
• 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 34 lb slender asparagus, trimmed and cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• steamed rice, for serving

1. Lightly season the beef with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin sauce, sherry, chili oil, and 1/2 cup water.
3. In a wok or large frying pan over high heat, warm the peanut oil.
4. Working in batches if needed to avoid crowding, add the beef and cook, turning once or twice, until lightly seared, 2-3 minutes.
5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
6. Add the onion and asparagus to the pan and cook until tender-crisp, 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for 15 seconds.
8. Return the meat and any juices from the plate to the pan, add the hoisin mixture, and mix well.
9. Simmer briefly until heated through.
10. Divide the rice among shallow bowls, top with beef and asparagus, and serve.
