BEEF WITH GREEN BEANS
We really enjoyed this super easy dinner which was printed in the newspaper (originally from Easy Chinese Stir-fries). Although I think you can cut the oil in half this isn't bad calorie wise using the amount listed. Also this seems like a lot of pepper but this really isn't a spicy dish -- I think the pepper tenderizes the meat some how.

Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together marinade ingredients (soy sauce - pepper).
- Slice steak with the grain into 2-inch strips and then across the grain into 1/2 inch pieces (the directions say 1/8 inch pieces but mine were closer to 1/2 inch to 1 inch) and then add them to marinade, toss, and set aside.
- Heat one tablespoon oil in wok over medium high heat until hot. Add beans and stir for 1 minute. Add water and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. Transfer beans to bowl.

- Add onion and stir for one minute.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut green beans or cut them into 1-inch pieces before cooking.
- If you don't have beef broth on hand, you can use water or vegetable broth instead.
- For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the skillet at the end of cooking.
- Serve the green beans and beef over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
