Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin
- 300 grams asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons beef broth
- 1 teaspoon erythritol or stevia (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain for tenderness, and set aside.
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, beef broth, and erythritol or stevia (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and asparagus. Stir to coat everything evenly, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef is fully cooked.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly stir-fried beef with asparagus!
