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:

Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and firm, with tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
Prep the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally. Alternatively, you can use a knife to cut off the bottom 1-2 inches of the spears.
Slice the bell peppers evenly: Cut the bell peppers into thin strips, about 1/4-inch wide. This will help them cook evenly.
Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the asparagus and bell peppers, giving them a nice charred flavor.
Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
Stir-fry the vegetables quickly: Stir-fry the vegetables for just a few minutes, until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make the vegetables mushy.
Season to taste: Season the stir-fry with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and pepper stir-fry is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover asparagus and bell peppers, and it's also a healthy and satisfying meal. Serve it over rice, noodles, or quinoa, or simply enjoy it on its own.
