Beef and Asparagus Stir Fry

The flavors in this Beef and Asparagus stir fry are strong and subtle at the same time - you can taste what makes the sauce sweet, but it doesn't overpower the meal. Perfect to serve with white rice or my fried rice recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup asparagus spears, sliced
  • 1 lb beef or preferred protein
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 3 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger ground
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce I prefer reduced sodium
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

Instructions
 

  • Place asparagus in microwave safe bowl, and cover (I used saran wrap). Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until almost tender.
  • Preheat a medium saute pan on medium 2-3 minutes. Place oil, and then protein, garlic, and ginger. Cook until meat is lightly browned. While steak cooks, combine remaining ingredients (except asparagus) in a bowl until blended.
  • Stir asparagus and sauce mixture into saute pan (with the protein). Bring to a boil (this will happen quickly and the corn starch will thicken the sauce). Cook for a couple minutes or until the sauce thickens and the asparagus is tender. Serve and enjoy!
