Asparagus Beef Lo Mein

This flavorful stir-fry is easy and relatively inexpensive. It's served over ramen noodles, which is a nice change from rice we usually have. To simplify preparation, I use store-bought garlic infused olive oil instead of minced garlic and olive oil.

SERVINGS: 4

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Stir-Fry

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 boneless beef sirloin steak (1 pound), thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-1/2-inch pieces
  • 2-1/4 cups water, divided
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) beef ramen noodles
  • 2/3 cup hoisin sauce

Directions:

In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry beef and garlic in oil for 5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Add the asparagus; stir-fry for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
    In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon seasoning from one ramen noodle seasoning packet; stir until dissolved. Add hoisin sauce; stir into the beef mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. (Discard remaining seasoning from opened packet.)
    In a large saucepan, bring remaining water to a boil; add ramen noodles and contents of remaining seasoning packet. Cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand until noodles are tender. Serve with beef mixture. Yield: 4 servings.

    Whenever I fix Ramen soup, I only use about half of the seasoning packet because it's so full of salt. Try it, it's just fine without the whole packet.

    Excuse Me- a total of one whole packet (from the 2nd pkg) PLUS 1/2 tsp of the (1st) packet is used. Shirtail02 is MSG sensitive, so it's a real issue. Check out msgmyth.com, or look it up in wikipedia (online encyclopedia). As for shirtail02, try using Herb-Ox or Wyler's lower sodium beef bouillon- there's a lot of salt in this recipe too. You can always add a little at the table...Just my nickels worth (7 cents by the time you read this).
