Beef Asparagus Stir-Fry image

"Chinese food is a big hit with my family, so this stir-fry is popular at our house...especially when I put a little extra bite in it with the red pepper flakes," relates Debby Petersen of Niagara, Wisconsin. To make sure the steak is tender, cut it into thin strips across the grain.

This stir-fry is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it for lunch or dinner during the week.

I served this stir-fry over rice, but it would also be good with noodles or even cauliflower rice.
