Categories Beef Stir-Fry Low Carb

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed, cut on the diagonal into 1 1/2 inch lengths (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 lb of flank steak, sliced in half lengthwise (along the grain) and then cut into thin strips, 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide (put the steak in the freezer for 15 minutes before slicing to make it easier to slice)
1 red bell pepper, seeded, de-ribbed, and cut into thin strips 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide
2 teaspoons of cornstarch dissolved into 3 Tablespoons of water
All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce
3 Tbsp soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free version)
1 tsp finely chopped, peeled, fresh ginger
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 green onion, including green tops, chopped
1/2 tsp chili oil

Steps:

Method 1 While you are chopping the ingredients in preparation, bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Parboil the asparagus pieces for 2 minutes, drain, rinse in cold water, drain, and set aside. If you are planning to serve this dish with rice, in a separate pan, prepare 2 cups of white rice, following the instructions on the rice package. 2 Prepare the All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce by combining the ingredients in a small dish, and set aside. 3 Stir-fry the asparagus in a wok (or a thick-bottomed pan with at least 2" sides that can take high heat) in 1 Tbsp of oil, on high heat, for about 2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove asparagus from pan and set aside. 4 Add another 1 Tbsp of oil to the pan and stir fry the beef strips, in 2 batches, for 2-3 minutes until browned but still pink inside. Return the first batch of beef to the pan and add the bell pepper. Stir and toss over high heat until just beginning to wilt, 1-2 minutes. 5 Quickly stir the cornstarch liquid and add it to the pan along with the stir fry sauce. Cook until sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes. Return the asparagus to the pan, toss to evenly coat and serve with steamed white rice (unless you are going low-carb, in which case, leave out the rice). Serves 4.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh asparagus and bell peppers will give your stir-fry the best flavor. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tight, closed tips. Bell peppers should be firm and brightly colored.
Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces and the bell peppers into thin strips.
Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the vegetables without overcrowding them.
Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Add the vegetables to the skillet or wok in batches: This will help to prevent them from steaming instead of stir-frying.
Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp: Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
Add the sauce and cook for an additional minute, or until the sauce has thickened: Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from burning.
Serve immediately over rice or noodles: Asparagus and pepper stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
