Very good stir-fry. A little on the sweet side. Cook in a large wok on medium-high heat. Marinating overnight is good, but not necessary.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ⅓ cup rice wine vinegar

  • ⅓ cup minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 1 pound round steak, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup peanut oil

  • 2 cups 1-inch sliced asparagus

  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste

  • 1 sweet onion, chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 cup whole cashews

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon water (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add beef, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate beef in the refrigerator overnight.

  2. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir beef and marinade until beef is well-browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in asparagus, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cashews and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds; continue cooking until vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.

  3. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl; stir into beef stir fry until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

Cook's Note:

If you don't plan on consuming the entire batch the first meal, I suggest you omit the cashews altogether, or add them to each plate when served. They will turn soggy and not be very appealing the second day.
