Description

Sliced beef with asparagus and jalapeno in a simple soy and mirin sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound beef
  • 16 stalks asparagus, ends trimmed and sliced into bite size pieces
  • 1 thumb size ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 stalks scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely sliced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mirin

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Turn the heat off and serve with rice.

Notes

Save the leftover beef stir fry in a storage container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
