Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
350g beef fillet, trimmed and finely sliced
8 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced into 5cm pieces on the diagonal
8 large fresh oyster mushrooms
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons chicken stock

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
350g beef fillet, trimmed and finely sliced
8 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced into 5cm pieces on the diagonal
8 large fresh oyster mushrooms
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons chicken stock

Paste
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tablespoons cleaned and chopped coriander roots
2 long red chilli peppers, deseeded and chopped

To make the paste, use a pestler and mortar to pound the garlic, coriander roots, chillies and a pinch of salt together. Alternatively, chop the ingredients into a paste using a small food processor.

Heat the oil in a hot wok, add the beef and the paste and stir-fry for one to two minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for two minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.

To serve, pile the beef, asparagus and mushrooms in a bowl and pour the sauce over the top.
