Asparagus-Beef Stir Fry

This easy Asparagus-Beef Stir Fry can be cooked year round because the vegetables and meat are available all the time. But I like to cook this best during spring when I find the fresh asparagus more vibrant and flavorful. This is a quick one-pan stir-fry dish which you can cook easily on a weeknight or family meal on weekends. The beef strips are marinated with a sweet-savory seasonings while the asparagus renders a hearty, earthy flavor when it is cooked. This is an Asian in America recipe. Serves 2 to 4.
