Ingredients

• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 pinch of pepper

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · chopping board · knife

1. Wash the asparagus, snap off the woody ends and cut the spears diagonally into pieces about 4 cm long.
2. Pat the steak dry with kitchen paper and cut it across the grain into thin strips.
3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the asparagus and chopped garlic for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Take both out of the pan.
4. Add the rest of the oil to the pan and sear the beef strips over a high heat for just 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Return the asparagus to the pan, add the soy sauce, toss everything briefly and season with pepper.

Good to know

Juicy beef and crisp asparagus in a savoury soy sauce. This low-carb dinner brings a steakhouse feel straight to your kitchen.

Swaps

Beef steak → chicken breast (a poultry alternative that also goes really well with soy sauce).

Cooking tips

Sear the beef really briefly over the highest heat so it doesn't turn tough and dry in the pan.

Storage

The dish tastes best fresh from the hot pan. Leftovers can be briefly reheated in the microwave the next day, though.
