Wash and peel the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Cook in salt water with 1 pinch of sugar for 15-18 minutes. Peel and wash the potatoes and cook in salted water for about 20 minutes. Drain the asparagus and collect the water.
Measure out 1/4 litre, sprinkle in sauce powder and bring to the boil. Wash the tomato, remove seeds and dice the flesh. Wash basil, dab dry and, except for something to garnish, pluck the leaves from the stalks and cut into strips.
Add the diced tomatoes and basil to the sauce. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange asparagus, potatoes, meat and sauce on plates.
