I got this yummy recipe from the Clean Eating Magazine…

I made it for my family of 5 tonight.  So good!  Thumbs up from all the boys here.

Ingredients:

* 2 tsp minced orange zest

* 1/2 cup 100% orange juice

* 1 T raw honey

* 1T minced fresh ginger

* 1 T minced garlic

* 2 tsp low-sodium tamari (a type of soy sauce)

* 1 tsp red pepper flakes

* 1/2 tsp sea salt

* 1 lb top sirloin steak, trimmed of visible fat & cut crosswise into thin strips

* 1 lb broccoli, trimmed & cut into 2-inch pieces

* 1 lb whole-wheat pasta

* 1 T safflower, sunflower or grape seed oil

* 1 large red bell pepper cut lengthwise into thin strips

* 1/4 cup grated low-fat Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1.  In a medium bowl, whisk orange zest, orange juice, honey, ginger, garlic, tamari, pepper flakes and salt.  Add steak and toss to coat.  Set aside at room temperature to marinate, 10min – 1 hour.

2.  Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Add broccoli and cook for 1 minute, until slightly wilted.  Transfer broccoli to a large bowl and set aside.

3.  Return broccoli cooking water to a boil.  Add pasta and cook according to package directions.  Then drain and transfer pasta to a large serving bowl and set aside.

4.  Meanwhile, in a large nonstick saute’ pan, heat oil on high.  Remove steak from bowl and transfer to pan, reserving marinade.  Cook, turning constantly, until brown and tender, about 3 mins.  Reduce heat to medium-high to prevent burning.  Add broccoli and bell pepper and saute’, stirring occasionally, for 1 min.  Add reserved marinade and saute’ for about a minute.  Spoon steak mixture over pasta and toss to coat.  Top with Parmesan.
