Angus Steak Veggie Stir Fry

Daily Tidbit:  I read an article in Real Simple about transforming leftovers last week and got inspired to be slightly more organized with my cooking.  So last night I made 2 meals worth of Angus Steak and made Steak Nachos (YUM!) and then used the leftover Steak tonight to make a quick and delicious Steak Veggie Stir Fry (YUM again)!  Here are some of their ideas of how enjoy leftovers in a new exciting way:

Angus Steak Veggie Stir Fry Recipe:
In Cast Iron Pan, Spray Canola Oil to coat bottom and heat to medium high heat.  Add:
 

1 large Carrot, sliced

1/2 large Zucchini, diced

1 cup chopped Yellow, Red & Green Peppers

1/2 Red Onion, sliced

1 cup Broccoli
2 Scallions, cut into bite sized pieces 

While above items Saute, make Stir Fry Sauce (recipe below)
When Veggies reached desired done-ness, add Stir Fry Sauce & Leftover cooked Angus Steak.  Cook for two minutes, tossing to get everything heated through and then Plate.  Add 1 tbsp Toasted Pine Nuts per Plate.(Toasted Almonds would have been a better pairing perhaps, but the Pine Nuts were ready to go and I was hungry!)

Stir Fry Sauce Recipe:

Mix the following ingredients:

1/4 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tsp Sesame Oil
2 tsp Red Pepper Flake (if you don't love tons of heat, go for 1 tsp)
