Broccoli Beef is such a popular stir fry, but I had asparagus to use, so I came up with this. The key to this is to not skimp on the meat. A good cut will yield a fantastic dish. I'm giving instructions to just how I cooked it, and the flavors somehow were able to blend, but stay separate, this way, which isn't always easy with Asiany stir fry dishes.

How to make it
- Heat 2T oil in wok or similar stir fry vessel. :)
- Toss steak pieces with about 2-3T corn starch.
- Prepare all veggies and keep them and the meat within reach See Photo. Once you start cooking, you will be cooking quickly...no time to chop! :)
- When oil is hot add garlic and hot pepper flakes and toss. Let cook about 30 seconds. See Photo
- Add meat and toss quickly to coat with oil. Cook over medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes, just until medium rare. See Photo
- Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add 2 more T oil and immediately add peppers, mushrooms and asparagus and toss quickly. See Photo
- Cook about 2-3 minutes in pan(pan will probably be nearly dry, now, and that's okay)
- Add beef stock to pan(reserve about 2T). It will sizzle, so stand back.
- Add tomato sauce and carefully stir or toss to coat veggies.
- Add soy sauce, Sriracha and honey and stir, again. See Photo
- Let reduce about 5 minutes
- Meanwhile, mix reserved beef stock with a couple T corn starch. More will yield a thicker sauce, so use to your preference.
- Add to wok and let thicken, slightly, about 5 more minutes.
- Add meat back to pan, as well as bean sprouts, cilantro and any of the canned ingredients and reduce heat to medium/low. Heat through for just a couple minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, toss once more and serve immediately over rice.
