With tasty tender slices of beef and fresh colorful vegetables, this mouthwatering stir-fry was designated "a keeper" by my husband the first time I made it. He loves the beef and asparagus, and I appreciate how quick it is to make.—JoLynn Hill, Roosevelt, Utah

This is part of our regular rotation of recipies. I usually end up using more veggies than is called for and sometimes adding broccoli as well. Very good and not too spicy (even for the kids) even with hot pepper sauce.
