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

Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil over high heat, add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in
asparagus. Add 1/4 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.
