Marinate the Beef:
- In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef strips with light soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sake, rice wine, cornstarch, and sugar.
- Ensure the beef is well coated in the marinade.

Prepare the Vegetables:
- Blanch the asparagus and green beans separately until they are just tender, for about 5 minutes.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
- Stir fry the blanched asparagus or green beans for 2 minutes until they are slightly charred and tender.
- Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
-
Cook the Beef:
- In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Add minced garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes, and stir fry for about a minute until fragrant.
- Add the marinated beef to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the beef is cooked on the outside and pink inside, or to your desired level of doneness.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Once the beef is cooked, return the blanched vegetables to the pan and toss everything together, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated in the flavorful sauce.
- Cook for an additional minute to heat everything through.
