Recipe: Beef Vegetable Stir Fry

For this dish, you can substitute any vegetables you want. The sauce is very mild, no spice at all, and even though I was suspicious of the peanut butter, it actually added a lot to the flavor. If you ever try this at home I hope you enjoy it almost if not as much as I did.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound of sirloin steak, sliced thinly
- 1 cup of broccoli
- 1/2 cup of carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup red pepper
