Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the quality of your ingredients, the tastier your dish will be. Look for grass-fed beef, organic vegetables, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the beef, make sure to give it enough space so that it can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the beef will steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Cook the beef to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). However, you can cook it to a lower temperature if you prefer a more rare or medium-rare doneness.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become limp and mushy. Aim for a slightly tender-crisp texture.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

This beef and asparagus skillet dinner is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking.
