Steak lovers can savor this dish, since lean beef, in moderate portions, is still heart-healthy. Brightly colored peppers supply plenty of antioxidants, and quick-cooking brown rice means dinner's ready in no time (and everyone gets whole-grain benefits).
Ingredients
- 1 navel orange
- 1/4 c. dry sherry
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 lb. beef eye round steaks
- 3 tsp. canola oil
- 2 red and/or orange peppers
- 1 package precooked whole-grain brown rice
Instructions
- From orange, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 1/3 cup juice. In large bowl, combine orange peel and juice with sherry, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Add beef and toss to coat; set aside.
- In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium-high until hot. Add peppers and 2 tablespoons water, and cook 5 minutes or until peppers are tender, stirring frequently. Transfer to medium bowl.
- In same skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil on high. With slotted spoon, transfer half of beef to skillet, reserving orange-juice mixture. Cook beef 1 minute, stirring frequently. Transfer beef to bowl with peppers. Repeat with remaining beef.
- Add 1/4 cup water, then reserved orange-juice mixture, to skillet; heat to boiling. Boil 1 minute. Meanwhile, prepare rice as label directs.
