  • 12 oz. beef top round
  • 1 tbsp. lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. lower-sodium soy sauce

  2. In bowl, combine beef, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  3. In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium-high. Add beef in single layer. Cook, without stirring, 1 minute. Transfer to plate; return skillet to medium-high heat without cleaning.
