Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Drop asparagus into a saucepan of boiling water, and return to a boil. Cook 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain asparagus; set aside. Trim fat from roast, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork, and cook 7 minutes or until done. Drain well, and set aside. Melt margarine in saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms; sauté 7 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle mushrooms with flour; stir well, and cook an additional minute.
