Masbooq forgetting to recite a surah in the second rakaat

Q: I was praying Asr Salaah with Jamaat and had missed 3 rakats. I forgot to recite a surah in the second rakah, so I recited a surah in the third rakah, and also did sajdah sahw. Is this correct?

A: The salaah is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
