Ingredients
Ground Beef (1 pound), Fresh Asparagus (1 bunch, about 1 lb), Soy Sauce (2 tablespoons), Sesame Oil (1 tablespoon), Garlic (3 cloves, minced), Fresh Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated), Red Pepper Flakes (½ teaspoon, optional), Green Onions (2 stalks, sliced, for garnish)
Vegetable Oil (1 tablespoon, for cooking)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
Add ground beef, cook until browned and juices are released (5-7 minutes). Stir to break into small pieces.
Push beef to the side, add asparagus, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Mix garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Add to the pan, cook for 1 minute.
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, stir to coat then cook for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
Use 90% lean ground beef for less grease.
Substitute vegetable oil for high-heat cooking; add sesame oil at the end for nutty flavor.
Adjust red pepper flakes to taste.
Serve with rice or noodles if desired.
No pork, bacon, ham, lard, or alcohol used.
