Instructions

Combine all steak ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, or up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
Stir together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat a large pan over high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, bell peppers, and asparagus and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until lightly charred and the beans are tender crisp and the onions and peppers are soft. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside. Do not clean the pan.
Add the remaining 1/4 tablespoon of avocado oil. When hot, add half the beef. Cook over high heat, turning as needed to brown the meat. Repeat with remaining half of beef. Transfer to the serving dish with vegetables. Do not clean the pan. Add the sauce ingredients and reduce to a thick sauce. Add back the meat and vegetables. Toss to coat. Stir in the basil leaves. Garnish with green onions before serving.
