Instructions: Heat large, non-stick skillet over high heat and add enough olive oil just to cover bottom. Add beef and brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove meat and set aside.

Add about 1 teaspoon more olive oil and saute garlic and mushroom over high heat, stirring until garlic begins to turn brown, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus and saute another minute.

Return meat to skillet and add rice, toss well and cook 1 minute. Add lemon zest, ginger, tomatoes, soy sauce, broth and pepper. Stir, cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes until asparagus is tender and liquid is absorbed. Add salt to taste.

Makes 2 servings.
