Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), cut into thin strips
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 medium sweet onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium green pepper, cut into chunks
  • 3 plum tomatoes, cut into chunks

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; add beef and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. For sauce, in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, broth, ketchup, soy sauce and sesame oil until smooth; set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet or wok coated with cooking spray, stir-fry the beef mixture in 1 teaspoon canola oil until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
