Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 2 cups cut fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1/3 pound sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce

Directions

  1. In a large skillet or wok, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same pan, stir-fry the asparagus, water chestnuts, mushrooms and garlic in oil for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  2. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth. Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and ginger. Pour over vegetables. Return beef to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in tomato. Serve with rice if desired.
