Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Add sliced bell peppers and trimmed asparagus to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
In a small bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Pour this sauce over the beef and vegetables in the skillet.
Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
If desired, mix cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry and add it to the skillet to further thicken the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the ground beef mixture over cooked rice or pasta.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
