Transfer the asparagus to a platter and garnish with lemon zest.

• Remove from heat and transfer vegetables to a bowl. In another bowl, toss together beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cornstarch until coated.
• Reheat skillet over high heat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add beef and cook, without stirring, until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus mixture and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Cook, tossing, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 30 seconds. Serve.

SUMMER CORN SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

CHICKPEA, ASPARAGUS AND CORN SAUTE'

Steps:

• 1) I add the onions right after the garlic and saute' for about 5 minutes.
• 2) I parboil the asparagus for 3 minutes prior to adding.
• 3) I add the tomatoes at the very end once heat is turned off -- they stay plumper that way.
