Directions

Coat beef thoroughly. Marinate 10 minutes. Heat 1½ tablespoons peanut oil in a wok over a high flame and stir-fry the beef long enough to brown it lightly.

Remove from wok and drain. In the remaining 1½ tablespoons of oil, stir-fry the asparagus for a few seconds to coat it.

Add salt and chicken broth and boil until the asparagus is tender-crisp (about 1 minute).

Add the beef and toss it with the asparagus to combine them.

Serve the beef immediately.
