1 beef sirloin steak (1 lb.), well trimmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 cup KRAFT Lite Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing

ADD carrots and celery to skillet; stir-fry 2 min. Return meat to skillet along with the dressing mixture; stir-fry 1 to 2 min. or until meat is done and sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in onions.

Tips:

  • To make the beef more tender, use a flank steak or skirt steak and slice it against the grain.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Use a high-quality soy sauce. A good soy sauce will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
  • If you like a spicy dish, add more chili peppers or chili sauce to taste.
  • Serve the Szechuan beef stir-fry over rice or noodles.
