Beef Noodle Bowl (Original Post 10/14/08)

I got this recipe from Kraftfoods.com . I get their free magazine sent to me and emails.... A really great way to add to your recipe collection with out spending any money.... This is a great dish, I have made it a couple of times...

Ingredients:
1/2 pound linguine, uncooked
3 Cups broccoli florets
3 carrots, sliced
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 pound beef sirloin steak, cut into strips
1/4 Cup Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
1 TBS teriyaki sauce
Directions:
Cook pasta in large sauce pan as directed on package, adding veggies to the boiling water for the last 2 minutes or so.
Meanwhile, heat oil in large non stick skillet. Add meat; cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing ans teriyaki sauce; cook 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.
Drain pasta mix; place in large serving bowl. Add meat mixture; toss to coat.
Ideas:
For added crunch, sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Planters dry roasted peanuts just before serving.
Variation:
Prepare as directed, using Kraft Zesty Italian dressing, adding one tsp ground ginger and increasing the teriyaki sauce to 1/4 cup.
I have tried the variation and it works in a pinch, but I would go with how the recipe is originally written with the Asian dressing. It adds so much more flavor to the meat than the variation. I have never tried this with the peanuts. It takes about 30 minutes to make and it is great for a week night dinner. Use any cut of meat that you want.....
