“A Parent’s Guide to Delicious Beef and Asparagus Stir-Fry: A Simple and Tasty Recipe for Staying at Home”
Staying at Home with Beef and Asparagus Stir-Fry: A Parent’s Story
As a parent, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. With work, school, after-school activities and more, it’s easy to let mealtime become just another chore on the long list of to dos. But staying home as a parent doesn’t have to mean boring meals or takeout. This beef and asparagus stir-fry is the perfect way to get creative in the kitchen while still keeping things simple.
The beauty of stir-fries is that they can be as simple or complex as you want them to be. You can use whatever ingredients you have on hand or make a trip to the store for something special. For this beef and asparagus stir-fry, I like to use fresh ingredients for maximum flavor. I start by prepping the beef and marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. This helps the meat to stay nice and tender during the stir-frying process.
Once everything is prepped, it’s time to get cooking! I heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until it’s nice and hot. Then I add some oil (I prefer peanut oil) and let it heat until it begins to shimmer. Next I add my marinated beef and let it cook for about 3 minutes until it is nicely browned on both sides. Then I add in my asparagus and cook for an additional 3 minutes until it is tender but still slightly crisp.
At this point, I like to add some extra flavor with some extra aromatics such as scallions, fresh ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes (optional). Then I pour in a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce and water and bring the mixture to a simmer before adding any additional vegetables such as mushrooms or bell peppers that I want included in my stir-fry. Once everything is cooked through, I like to sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro over the top for an extra burst of flavor!
Stir-fries are one of my favorite go-to meals when staying at home with my kids because they are so quick and easy to make while still being full of flavor. This beef and asparagus stir-fry is no exception! It makes a great dinner option when you need something on the table fast but don’t want to sacrifice taste or nutrition. Plus, there’s nothing like sitting down with your family for dinner after preparing a delicious meal together!
Ingredients:
1 lb beef sirloin steak
1 lb fresh asparagus
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 scallions thinly sliced
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup water
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Stay-at-Home Parenting: How to Make Delicious Shrimp and Grits
As a stay-at-home parent, finding the time to whip up a delicious and nutritious meal for your family can be challenging. But with a little bit of patience and creativity, you can still make something that everyone will love. That’s why I’m so excited to share my favorite recipe for shrimp and grits. This classic Southern dish is perfect for busy parents because it’s so easy to make, and it’s also incredibly tasty!
Growing up in the South, I was lucky enough to enjoy plenty of shrimp and grits. There’s something about the creamy grits combined with the savory shrimp that has always kept me coming back for more. I like to think of this dish as comfort food at its finest!
My version of shrimp and grits is simple yet flavorful. I start by sautéing garlic and onion in some olive oil until they become fragrant. Then I add in some bacon, diced tomatoes, and white wine, allowing the flavors to meld together as they cook. Once the bacon is cooked through, I add in the shrimp and let them cook until they turn pink. Finally, I stir in a few tablespoons of butter along with some fresh herbs before adding the cooked grits to the pan. The result is a savory and comforting dish that will please even the pickiest eaters!
The ingredients you need for this recipe are simple: bacon, garlic, onion, tomatoes, white wine, shrimp, butter, fresh herbs (I like to use parsley), and grits. To start off your meal prep process, begin by preparing your grits according to package instructions. While those are cooking, you can move on to prepping your other ingredients. Once everything is ready to go, you can begin cooking your shrimp and grits on the stovetop.
Making this delicious dish brings back so many fond memories of growing up in the South. Every time I make it for my family now, it takes me back home again! I hope this recipe brings you just as much joy as it does for me—enjoy!

1. Begin by preparing your grits according to package instructions. Set aside when finished cooking.

Cook until bacon is crisp then remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.

3. Add garlic and onions to skillet with reserved bacon fat then sauté until fragrant and lightly golden browned around edges (about 4 minutes).
4. Add diced tomatoes and white wine then bring mixture to a boil before reducing heat to low and allowing flavors to meld together (about 5 minutes).

6. Remove skillet from heat then stir in cooked grits until evenly combined throughout mixture (about 1 minute). Serve warm with extra butter if desired then enjoy!
