Q&A — Garlic Asparagus Beef

Quick tips to keep it tender, garlicky, and perfectly crisp — every time.

How do I keep the beef tender and juicy?

Slice thinly against the grain, marinate for 10–15 minutes with a splash of light soy + a pinch of cornstarch or oil. Cook quickly over high heat — short cook time = tender results.

My garlic burns fast — any tips?

Always use moderate heat for the garlic stage and enough oil to coat the pan. Add garlic first to scent the oil, then immediately add beef so garlic doesn’t sit alone and turn bitter.

Can I swap asparagus for something else?

Yes — broccoli, snap peas, green beans, or bok choy work great. Adjust cooking time so veggies stay bright and slightly crunchy, not mushy.

How do I get the sauce to cling to the beef nicely?

Make a quick slurry: mix ½ tsp cornstarch with 1–2 tbsp water and add at the end. Toss on high heat for 20–30 seconds — sauce will thicken and coat the meat beautifully.

Pro tip: add the cornstarch slurry only when the pan is hot to avoid lumps.

Is this dish good for meal prep?

Totally! Cook veggies slightly underdone so they don’t get soggy when reheated. Store in airtight containers and reheat gently — a quick stir-fry or microwave for 1–2 minutes is enough.
