Working in batches, add beef in single layer and cook, undisturbed until meat begins to blacken on bottom about 1-1/2 minutes. Turn over and cook until second side browns, about 1 minute. Transfer beef to large plate. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in same skillet over medium high heat. Add asparagus, green onions, and ginger, saute until vegetables are tinged brown and crisp-tender about 2 minutes. Add broth, fish sauce, and sugar, bring to boil. Return beef to skillet and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
