How to Make Beef Asparagus Stir Fry

  1. In a shallow glass dish, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon grated ginger.
  2. Add the sliced beef and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, beef broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon ginger until smooth.
  5. Set the sauce mixture aside.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and brown on all sides.
  7. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.
  8. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
  9. Add the asparagus, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
  10. Add the water chestnuts and onions. Stir-fry for another minute.
  11. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet.
  12. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
  13. Return the beef to the skillet and heat through.
  14. Serve the Beef Asparagus Stir-fry immediately over hot cooked rice.
  15. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
