Ingredients: 

Sauce:

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp Asian chili sauce or hot sauce
3 tsp cornstarch

1 lb boneless top sirloin steak, cut into strips
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp finely chopped or grated ginger
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced

Toss beef strips with cornstarch, shaking off any excess. In a wok or large deep skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until browned but still pink inside. Transfer strips to a bowl. Add remaining tbsp oil to the pan. Add ginger and stir fry for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add pepper strips, asparagus and broccoli and stir fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until veggies start to soften and caramelize. Pour in reserved sauce and return beef to the pan. Continue to stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until beef is cooked through, sauce is thickened and veggies are tender-crisp.
