Beef and asparagus stir-fry is a classic weeknight dinner. It is not only quick and easy to prepare, it brings together vegetables and meat in an individual dish. Not only gluten free, it is extremely healthy as well and requires only rice as a complement.
Asparagus is the much loved spring vegetable of numerous fans of fine food. Green asparagus is consumed globally and nurtured as a gourmet vegetable, therefore considered a delicacy. Only the young unsurfaced shoots of the asparagus plant are eaten. It has a bitter and slightly pungent taste, widely known for its diuretic properties and is high in potassium. It is also an exceptional source of B vitamin folate.
