Air Date: 9/22/2008
3 to 4 servings


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 pound beef top round steak, cut lengthwise in half then crosswise
into 1/8-inch thick strips
4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
1 head iceberg lettuce (see Note)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In a large bowl, combine beef strips and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, toss until evenly coated. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine orange juice, Hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch; mix well. Set aside.

In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the beef strips and cook 1 to 2 minutes, just until beef is no longer pink, do not overcook.

Add orange juice mixture, carrots, scallions, and crushed red pepper. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened about 1 minute. Spoon beef mixture into lettuce leaves and serve.

NOTE: Simply remove outer leaves a head of iceberg lettuce, rinse it under cold running water, core it, and then soak it in a large bowl of ice water for a couple of hours in the fridge to crisp up.
