About

When winter is still upon you but asparagus have just come into the market, here is a great dish to encourage thoughts of spring. The mushrooms can be as varied as the market permits.

This is a simple, classic stir-fry that can be prepared in advance and then cooked within minutes. The beef will be tastiest if left to marinate overnight.
