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.

  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.33 cups rice wine vinegar
  • 0.33 cups minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 0.25 cups peanut oil
  • 2 cups 1-inch sliced asparagus
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms , or more to taste

  2. 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.
