How to Make Beef And Asparagus Stir Fry

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 pound thinly sliced beef and stir-fry until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add 1 pound asparagus (fresh or thawed frozen), 1 red bell pepper (sliced), 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced), 1 orange bell pepper (sliced), 1/2 cup sliced onion, and 1/2 cup sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Return the beef to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) and 2 green onions (sliced).
  6. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  9. Serve immediately over cooked rice.
  10. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
