3/4 pound boneless beef sirloin steak
2/3 cup crushed gingersnaps (about 10 cookies)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
3 ribs celery, sliced
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups beef broth

Partially freeze steak; slice diagonally across grain into 1/8-inch strips.

Combine gingersnap crumbs and salt in medium bowl. Dredge slices into crumb mixture; set aside.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of steak slices, stirring to brown both sides. Cook 2 minutes or until done. Reserve and keep warm. Repeat with remaining steak slices.

Add onion, celery, and carrots to hot skillet; cook 5 minutes or until tender crisp.

Add broth and vinegar; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
