List of Ingredients

This is an official 5 a Day recipe, and provides four people with 1-1/4 servings of vegetables each.



Recipe

Serves 4

3/4 pound beef round steak, boneless (12 ounces)
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1 tablespoon soy sauce
dash pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups broccoli florets
1-1/4 cup water

Trim all fat from steak. Slice steak across the grain into thin strips about 1/8 inch wide and 3 inches long. (Partially frozen meat is easier to slice).

Heat oil in nonstick skillet or wok. Add beef strips and stir fry over high heat, turning pieces constantly, until beef is no longer red (about 3-4 minutes).

Reduce heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and seasonings. Cover and cook until carrots are slightly tender (3-5 minutes). Add broccoli; cook until vegetables are tender-crisp (3 to 4 minutes).

Mix cornstarch and water until smooth; add slowly to beef mixture, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened and vegetables are coated with a thin glaze.
