Low fat and tasty beef with vegetables on the table in less than an hour. An unusual ingredient in the quick marinade - diet Coke - helps to tenderize the peppery beef. Ingredients:

2 tablespoons fresh coarse ground black pepper |
2 teaspoons ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons chopped onions |
6 ounces lean beef, cut into stir fry strips |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
4 ounces white mushrooms |
2 tablespoons celery, sliced |
4 stalks fresh asparagus, each stalk cut into 3 sections |
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix the Diet Coke, black pepper and onions. Add the beef strips and marinate for 30 minutes.
2. Heat a heavy skillet or wok over high heat. Add the olive oil and vegetables. Stir fry for 2 minutes.
3. Add beef and marinade and fry for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce if using.
4. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, your choice.
