• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince ginger. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus; cut stalks crosswise into 1-inch pieces.

• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water (2 1⁄4 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, pat steak dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine ginger, scallion greens, 2 TBSP oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir and set aside.

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, onion, and asparagus. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. • Stir in sweet soy glaze, sesame dressing, chili sauce, and 1⁄4 cup water(1⁄2 cup for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Thinly slice steak against the grain. • Divide rice and asparagus stir-fry between plates in separate sections; top stir-fry with steak. Drizzle any remaining sauce from pan over steak. Spoon as much scallion-ginger oil over rice as you like. • Garnish with sesame seeds and serve. ***Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
