Chinese Beef and Green Beans

 Chinese beef and green beans

¾ pound boneless lean sirloin steak

1 ½ pound fresh green beans

Vegetable cooking spray

1 large onion, coarsely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 ½ cup beef broth

1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch

3 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 cups hot cooked rice

Trim excess fat from steak. Partially freeze steak; slice across grain into 3 x ¼ inch strips. Set aside.

Remove strings for beans; wash and cut into 1 inch pieces. Set aside.

Coat a skillet with cooking spray; place over medium high heat until hot. Add meat, onion, and garlic; stir fry until meat is browned. Add beans and broth; cover. Reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes or until the beans are crisp-tender.

Combine cornstarch, water, and soy sauce, stirring until blended; stir into meat mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Served over hot rice.
