Sesame Beef and Asparagus

Ingredients:

• 1 pound(s) asparagus, fresh, tough ends trimmed
• 3/4 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 16 oz lean beef round, top, or 1 pound, trimmed of all visible fat and cut into 2 x 1Ú8-inch strips
• 1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, peeled and minced
• 2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced
• 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Combine the broth, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a cup.

Heat a nonstick wok or large deep skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Swirl in the oil, then add the beef. Stir-fry until just cooked through, 3Ð4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add the asparagus, ginger, and garlic to the wok; stir-fry until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Return the beef with any accumulated juices to the wok. Add the broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer the beef and asparagus to a platter, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
