Beef With Fresh Asparagus

Description

I believe this is from the Yan Can Cookbook that I borrowed from my sister-in-law years ago. This is a flavorful and colorful combination. I think I may have added more soy sauce during the cooking process when I made this, so naturally, make the necessary adjustments to suit your family. It would probably be good with a little heat added to it (crushed red pepper or chiles maybe) Prep time includes 2 hours for marination.
