Friday's FIT Feast

Ingredients


1 lb top sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and cubed


1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce


1/4 cup beef broth


2 tbsp lime juice (fresh is best)


1/2 tbsp agave syrup


1 tbsp grated ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)


1 tsp garlic


1/2 tsp red pepper flakes


1 tbsp cornstarch


1 medium green pepper, cut in cubes


1 medium red pepper, cut in cubes


1 cup button mushrooms, roughly chopped


1 medium red onion, chopped


1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil



Directions


1. Combine soy sauce, beef broth, lime juice, agave syrup, ginger, and garlic. Pour over cubed steak in a medium glass bowl. Allow the steak to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.


2. Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Place steak cubes in skillet (leaving marinade in bowl). Add red onion and red pepper flakes. If you prefer your onions a little crunchy- wait and add them with peppers and mushrooms. Cook steak and onions until well-cooked. Add peppers and mushrooms. Meanwhile, add 1 tbsp cornstarch to the marinade and pour into skillet. Bring entire mixture to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
