I made an addition to my recipe this evening.  After removing the meat from the pan but before sauteing the onions, I sauteed chopped asparagus (1" spears) for about 5 minutes in a little of the oil.  I used only 2 tsp of oil on the meat and saved 1 tsp for the asparagus to get a nice sear before putting the sauce back in to reduce.  I also mixed the rice right into the meat and sauce mixture.  It really was delicious...I look forward to the leftovers.
