Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

½ cup less sodium soy sauce
½ cup cold water (plus additional as needed)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger ((or about ¼ teaspoon dried ginger))
1 tablespoon minced garlic ((or about ½ teaspoon garlic powder))
¼ cup brown sugar
1 lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 small onion, diced
1 lb. beef top round steak or flank steak, trimmed and sliced thin against the grain
For serving: rice (or cauliflower rice); noodles; sliced green onions

Steps:

Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl whisk together soy sauce, cold water, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar until completely combined. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus and stir-fry for about 2 minutes (or until crisp-tender). Add the red bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry for about 2 more minutes, or until crisp-tender. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Add meat to the skillet in a single layer (still over high heat) and cook for about 1 minute - do not stir or move the meat while it is browning. Flip the meat, cook on the other side for about 30 more seconds, and then remove to the plate with the vegetables. Drain the fat from the skillet.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer while whisking until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). If the sauce gets too thick, just add additional water until it reaches desired consistency. Return beef and vegetables to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Serve with rice and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Stir-Fried Spicy Asparagus image

Holding out for regional produce may seem absurdly romantic, or a little stubborn, but there's no denying the thrill when, after months of apples, potatoes and sturdy greens, suddenly asparagus appears in full force at the market. Finally, spring has arrived.

Categories easy, quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds pencil-thin asparagus (or substitute small or medium asparagus, split lengthwise)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 serrano or other fresh hot chile, finely chopped
A large handful of basil, mint and cilantro leaves

Steps:

Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths
In a wok or cast-iron skillet, heat the oil until nearly smoking. Add the asparagus, season generously with salt and pepper and stir well, making sure the asparagus is coated and glistening with oil. Continue to stir-fry over high heat for about 1 minute, until the asparagus looks bright green and barely cooked. Add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for 30 seconds more.
Transfer to a serving platter and scatter leaves on top. Serve immediately.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut beef strips or thinly slice your own flank steak against the grain.
For a more tender beef, marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or Chinese rice wine.
To get the best flavor from your asparagus, choose spears that are thin and green, with tight tips.
Don't overcrowd the wok or pan when stir-frying. Cook the beef and asparagus in batches if necessary.
Stir-fry the beef and asparagus over high heat to get a nice sear and preserve their鮮嫩 and bright color.
Season the stir-fry to taste with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper.
Garnish the stir-fry with green onions for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This Asian asparagus beef stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The beef is tender and flavorful, the asparagus is crisp and fresh, and the sauce is rich and savory. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
