Print This Recipe



Serves 4

FOR THE BEEF

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add 1-pound sirloin steak; cook, turning once, 6 minutes for medium-rare.

Meanwhile, trim 1 pound fresh asparagus; cut crosswise into thirds.

Transfer beef to a plate.

Add asparagus to the skillet; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Stir in 1/2 cup each bottled stir-fry sauce and orange juice and bring to a simmer.

Slice steak; spoon asparagus mixture over top.

FOR THE RICE

Stir 1/4 cup each sliced scallions and chopped peanuts into 4 servings of cooked rice.

FOR THE SALAD

Combine 2 cups sliced unpeeled seedless cucumber, 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper and 3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar*.

*NOTE - Mild, seasoned rice-wine vinegar contains sugar and salt and makes an excellent fat-free salad dressing.
