If you don't have thinly sliced beef purchased, place beef between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until almost paper thin. Slice meat into 1 to 1.5 in. (2.5 to 3.5 cm) wide x 4 in. (10 cm) thin slices (long enough to wrap around the stacked asparagus).

Mix all liquid ingredients together making sure that the sugar is dissolved before beef in placed in the marinade. You may double or triple this recipe to marinate a larger amount of meat. For this particular recipe, I used a small amount, about 250 g (about ½ lb). Leave in marinade for at least an hour before cooking.

To make canapés: Blanche asparagus spears whole in boiling water until nearly cooked. Place immediately under cold water to stop cooking. Cut uniformly into 2.5 in / 5 cm pieces and place three pieces of asparagus in each stack. Place raw marinated beef pieces on a flat surface and roll around the asparagus clusters.

Once assembled, pan fry the stacks with the join on the bottom to be seared initially, so that the cooked beef doesn't start to unravel when turned over to cook the other side. Once browned, remove from pan. Serve hot or at room temperature.
