  1. Put the beef in a bowl with the sake, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chilli and brown sugar. Toss to coat and leave for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

  2. Heat a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Add the cooking oil, then lift the beef from the marinade and stir-fry for 2 minutes until browned but still tender. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Add the asparagus and sugar snap peas to the hot wok and stir-fry for 3 minutes, keeping them bright and slightly crisp.

  4. Return the beef and any resting juices to the wok. Toss for 1 minute, then add the sesame oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  5. Divide between two bowls and finish with the sesame seeds and chopped coriander.

Notes

Slice the beef thinly and have all the ingredients ready before heating the wok, as the cooking is very quick.
