1

Begin by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smoother. Measure out the ground beef, asparagus, red bell pepper, and other ingredients.

2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

3

Add minced garlic (about 3 cloves) and grated ginger (1 teaspoon) to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through.

5

While the beef is cooking, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the stalks into bite-sized pieces.

6

Once the beef is cooked, add the asparagus and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant in color.

7

Next, pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

8

Sprinkle with sesame seeds (1 tablespoon) before serving for added crunch and flavor.

• Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• Add a splash of hoisin sauce or oyster sauce for a richer flavor.
• Incorporate other vegetables such as snap peas, broccoli, or carrots for variety.

• Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking.
• For extra flavor, marinate the ground beef in soy sauce and ginger for 15 minutes before cooking.
• Serve over steamed rice or cooked noodles for a more filling meal.
