Beef & Cashew Stir Fry image

This is another excellent stir fry written in a hand I don't recognize. It is quite good however. The times are a guess. Freezing the meat the night before makes slicing easier.

ASPARAGUS AND CASHEW STIR FRY



Asparagus and Cashew Stir Fry image

The combination of fresh asparagus and crunchy, salty cashews is a winner. As a side vegetable it goes well with simple grilled fish, pork, and poultry. Or, I've just sauteed some cubed, boneless chicken breasts to the skillet before adding the asparagus. It's delicious either way.

This recipe was my first "Mushroom Monday Challenge" dinner. I love stir-fries, and this one comes together in a snap. You can always use any vegetables that you may have on hand if you are short what's listed in the ingredients. Red or green peppers could be used if you don't have asparagus, even a little sliced carrot would be delicious.
