Easy Beef Stir Fry (Low Fat)
Yield: 6

1 lb lean boneless sirloin, trimmed, and cut into ¼ inch strips (if you'11 stick the steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes, it'll slice more easily)
2 tsp peeled, minced ginger root
1/4 tsp grated orange rind
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 lb fresh snow pea pods (be sure ends are trimmed and strings are removed)
1/2 cup fresh bean sprouts
1/2 cup celery, sliced on the diagonal
1/2 cup red pepper, sliced into strips
3 cups cooked brown rice (use the instant variety - it's great)

In a large zip-lock plastic bag, combine ginger root, orange rind, orange juice, vinegar and soy sauce. Zip bag and mix thoroughly to make marinade. Add meat strips and place in refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.

Remove meat strips and add cornstarch to remaining marinade. Zip bag and mix cornstarch into marinade.

Spray nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat to medium high. Add meat strips and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.

Drizzle sesame oil over skillet. Add snow peas, bean sprouts, celery and pepper and stir-fry 3 minutes.

Add steak strips and reserved marinade and stir-fry an additional 2-3 minutes. Mixture should be slightly thickened. Serve over rice.
