Instructions
Combine steak slices and 2 tablespoon Hoisin sauce in a shallow bowl. Let marinade 10 minutes. (Or up to 12 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.)
Heat ½ teaspoon of oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the steak, and cook, stirring often, until the beef is mostly cooked through, 2-3 min. Remove steak from pan and set aside.
Add remaining ½ teaspoon oil to the wok. Add asparagus and sauté until the color begins to brighten 1-2 minutes. Add the remaining 6 tablespoon Hoisin sauce and 2 tablespoon water. Mix well. Cover the wok and steam for 1 minute.
Add the red pepper strips and cooked steak to the pan. Sauté an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the ingredients are heated through.
