Mix all marinade ingredients till smooth and coat all beef slices. Cover and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Have all ingredients on hand, it will take just a few minutes from start to finish.
Drain marinade (if meat didn’t absorb it) and pat dry.
Preheat well seasoned wok till hot and add cold oil around the sides of wok. Oil should form a haze as soon as it touches sides of wok. Add slices of flank in one layer if possible and let brown (don’t move the meat) for 30 seconds. Flip over with steel spatula and stir fry for another 30 seconds. Remove the meat to preheated bowl and keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium high and sauté garlic and ginger for few seconds.
Add red pepper, asparagus stems, onion wedges and chestnuts. Stir fry for about a minute and then add asparagus tips and half of the green onions. Stir for about 1/2 a minute and increase the heat. Return meat to the wok and add the sauce. Stir till all ingredients are well coated with sauce and serve immediately. Garnish with remaining green onions. Serve with steamed rice.
