Betty Crocker’s New Eat & Lose Weight Cookbook is actually is not “new, since the copy write is 1996 but it has some recipes that look easy, sensible & delicious. There are 196 recipes from appetizers to desserts. When eating healthy you should try to eat “red meat” in moderation & select lean cuts of beef, such as round steak, sirloin, tenderloin & extra-lean ground beef. The picture looked so colorful & fun in the cookbook we had to try this one.
Mexican Steak Stir-Fry
It was suggested to serve this recipe over cooked rice or orzo pasta.
3/4 pound beef boneless sirloin, cut into 1 x ½ inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small green pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 cup frozen corn
½ cup salsa
1 medium zucchini, sliced (2 cups)
1 can (15 to 16 oz.) pinto beans, rinsed & drained
1 can (14 ½ oz.) no-salt added whole tomatoes, undrained
Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook beef, onion and bell pepper in skillet 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is no longer pink. Stir in remaining ingredients, breaking up tomatoes. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender & mixture is hot.
