     1 lb Flank steak


          Salt


     1 ts Cornstarch


          Soy sauce


     2 lb Fresh asparagus with tight


          Tips


     2 md Onions


     2    Cloves garlic


          Salad oil


     3 tb Canned bean sauce


   1/2 ts Sugar






 Cut steak lengthwise in 2-1/2-inch strips, trimming off fat as you go. Then


 cut across the grain, in 1/8-inch thick strips. Put meat in bowl and att 1


 teaspoon salt, cornstarch, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce. Wash asparagus


 carefully, break off tough ends, and cut diagonally into pieces about


 1/4-inch thick.  (If you cat on a SHARP DIAGONAL, the pieces will be abut


 1-1/2 to 2" long.) Cut onions in half lengthwise, lay cut side down, and


 slice crosswise into 1/4" slices. Smash garlic cloves with flat side of


 knife or cleaver and remove sking. Heat a wide frying pan or wok over


 highest heat, add 1/4 cup oil, it should bubble slightly from the heat. Add


 garlic and cook just until pale brown. Remove and discard. Add meat, stir


 frequently, and cook until almost browned. Remove to a bowl. Add 3


 tablespoons more oil.  Add onion. Cook a minute or two stirring constantly.


 Make a little hollow on top of the onion; add bean sauce. Cook until onion


 starts to get translucent. Add asparagus and sprinkle over 1 teaspoon salt,


 sugar and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Cover and cook, taking the top off


 occasionally to stir well, just until asparagus is tender-crisp. Then, put


 the meat on top. Cook, stirring,just long enough to get the meat reheated.


 Seve at once. *TIPS: This is usually served over white rice. I always add


 more grlic, usually with the onion, and leaving it in. You can experiment


 with using flavored oil in part. Also, try a different Asian sauce if you


 have it on hand.  Sharron MM Format Norma Wrenn NPXR56B Comments:  Easy and
