Saucy Beef Stir-fry

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 15 Min

You know me - always trying new combinations of simple ingredients. What I've got for you now is a quick stir-fry with a creamier sauce than usual. I know I like the results. How 'bout you?

What You'll Need

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds beef top sirloin steak, cut into -inch strips
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 can (10¾ ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon browning and seasoning sauce
1 package (16 ounces) frozen Oriental-style vegetables, thawed and drained

What to Do

In a large deep skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute or until it just begins to brown, stirring frequently. Add the beef and cook for 7 to 9 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the remaining ingredients except the vegetables; mix well. Stir into the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce begins to boil, stirring frequently.
Add the vegetables and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until heated through.
