Oriental Steak Skewers





You Will Need


1 pound boneless beef sirloin tip roast
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
1 cup water
4 medium carrots, julienned
1/2 pound fresh green beans
1 large sweet red pepper, julienned
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons prepared horseradish


What to Do



1. Cut beef width wise into 16 slices, 1/4 inch thick. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, sugar and ginger; add the beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 4 hours.

2. In a saucepan, bring water and carrots to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the beans and red pepper; cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place vegetables in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
