THAI STIR-FRY

Basmati or jasmine rice can be substituted for the Thai rice; cook with light coconut milk, if desired, or sprinkle with flaked coconut when serving.

4 servings

1 pound beef round steak, fat trimmed, cut into strips

8 green onions, sliced

2 cups each: broccoli florets, thinly sliced carrots

⅓–⅔ cup Thai peanut sauce

½ cup reduced-sodium fat-free beef broth

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 package (6.4 ounces) Thai coconut ginger rice, cooked, warm

¼ cup each: chopped cilantro, dry-roasted peanuts

1. Stir-fry beef in lightly greased wok or large skillet until cooked, 5 to 8 minutes; remove from wok. Add onions, broccoli, and carrots to wok; stir-fry until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in peanut sauce and beef; stir in combined vegetable broth and cornstarch and heat to boiling. Boil, stirring until thickened, about 1 minute. Serve over rice; sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts.
