This complete Asian meal has a taste the whole family will love. Toasted sesame seed provides a nutty flavor and assorted vegetables add color, crunch and nutrients.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons ginger, ground
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper, ground

Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic powder and ground red pepper in small bowl. Reserve 1/2 of the marinade. Place beef in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add remaining marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 15 minutes or longer for extra flavor.

2. Heat oil in large skillet on high heat. Remove beef from marinade. Add beef to skillet; stir fry 3 minutes or until beef is no longer pink. Remove beef from skillet. Add vegetables; stir fry 3 to 5 minutes or until tender-crisp.

3. Mix reserved marinade with honey and cornstarch until smooth. Stir into skillet. Stirring constantly, bring to boil on medium heat and boil 1 minute. Return beef to skillet. Cook until heated through. Serve over hot cooked brown rice, if desired. Sprinkle with sesame seed before serving.

To Toast Sesame Seed: Heat small skillet on medium heat. Add sesame seed; cook and stir 2 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Immediately pour out of hot pan to avoid over-toasting.
