Preparation

Step 1

Cut beef diagonally, across grain, into thin slices; sprinkle with salt and pepper blend. In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add beef in two batches; cook and stir just until browned, about 5 minutes; remove and keep warm.

In same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add crimini mushrooms and the garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

In small cup, combine 1/4 cup of the broth with the flour. Stir into skillet along with remaining 3/4 cup broth; cook and stir until thickened. Stir in oyster mushrooms, tomatoes and beef; cook only until hot. Serve over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
