Steps:
- Stir the beef with the fish sauce, lime zest, peppercorns and garlic, then set aside. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick wok and pile in the shallot, asparagus, sugar snaps and broccoli. Stir-fry over a high heat for 5 mins. (There are a lot of vegetables, so you can speed up the process by adding a dash of water to the wok every now and then to steam them at the same time.)
- Stir the coconut milk, curry paste and lime juice together, pour into the pan and stir well. Simmer for 2 mins, adding a few tbsp water until the vegetables are tender but still have a lot of bite. Tip into bowls and keep warm.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, tip in the beef and stir-fry for 1-2 mins until just cooked. Stir through the basil leaves and serve on top of the vegetables.

Steps:
- Season steak all over with salt and pepper. Whisk grated garlic, mustard, vinegar, honey, cayenne, 1/3 cup oil, and 1 Tbsp. water in a medium bowl to combine; season spicy mustard with salt and pepper.
- Heat a dry medium skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Rub steak all over with 1 Tbsp. oil and cook, turning every 2 minutes or so and making sure to get color on the fat cap, until medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will register 120°F), about 10 minutes. Transfer steak to a plate to rest. Pour off oil from skillet, leaving crispy bits behind.
- Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over low. Add sliced garlic and all but about 2 Tbsp. scallions (save those for serving) and cook, stirring often, until translucent and softened, about 3 minutes. Add peas and a splash of water and cook, stirring and mashing to break up slightly, until peas are tender, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until asparagus is just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Slice steak and shingle over vegetables in skillet. Drizzle some mustard sauce over steak and top with reserved scallions. Serve with remaining mustard sauce alongside.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS
Here's a stir-fry far better than most take-out Chinese, and you can make it with any lean cut of meat - flank steak, London broil, tenderloin, sirloin or skirt steak - so long as it is cut thin against the grain. Most takeout joints use snow peas, but sugar snaps are juicier and more succulent, and just as crunchy. (Their downside is that they are slightly more work: they need to be thinly sliced.) As for the sauce, it's simple: thick dark soy sauce (tamari works well), sesame oil, chicken broth and Madeira.

STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS
This recipe was my first "Mushroom Monday Challenge" dinner. I love stir-fries, and this one comes together in a snap. You can always use any vegetables that you may have on hand if you are short what's listed in the ingredients. Red or green peppers could be used if you don't have asparagus, even a little sliced carrot would be delicious.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: For stir-fries, flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak are good options. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they cook quickly.
- Slice the steak thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the steak and keep it juicy.
- Don't overcook the steak: Overcooked steak will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Add the vegetables last: Vegetables cook quickly, so add them to the stir-fry last. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to keep the vegetables crisp and the steak juicy.
