24 asparagus spears cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup water
10oz lean, trimmed, boneless sirloin steak, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 tsp salt

1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
24 cherry tomatoes, halved

Combine the asparagus and water in a skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 2 minutes. Pour off the water.

Sprinkle the beef with the salt and pepper; add it to the asparagus along with the scallions and garlic. Saute until the beef is cooked through. Add the tomatoes and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes longer.
