Beef and Asparagus Stir Fry Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 lb steak
• 16 asparagus stalks (ends cut off), sliced into bite size
• 1 thumb size piece ofginger, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 3 scallions, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded, sliced into thin discs
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp mirin

Preparation:

Chop your steak into thin slices (putting it in the freezer for about 20 minutes will make it easier to slice, once the steak is harder).

Fill half of a small pan with water and a little salt. Bring it to boil and add the asparagus.

Blanch for 3 minutes. Strain and leave in cold water (to stop the cooking process).

In a large pan over medium/high heat, add oil, ginger and garlic. Fry for a minute or until you can smell the garlic. Add beef slices and fry until the meat is cooked through (couple of minutes).

Add jalapenos and asparagus, cook for a minute, add soy and mirin, cook for a minute.

Turn the heat off and serve your beef stir fry with rice.
