Asian Beef & Broccoli

What You Will Need - 4 servings

¾ pound cooked steak (leftover) or deli roast beef - cut into thin strips
3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium is best)
1 package Rice-A-Roni® (Beef Flavor)
2 tablespoons margarine, butter or substitute
½ cup onion - chopped
2 cups broccoli florets
½-teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Mix soy sauce into meat and set aside.

In a 3-quart glass casserole (microwave safe), combine Rice-A-Roni® with butter and onions. Microwave on high, uncovered for about 4 to 5 minutes or until vermicelli is golden brown. Stir after two minutes of microwaving.

Stir 2 3/4 cups of water and seasoning packet into the vermicelli mix and cover. Continue microwaving on high for 10 minutes. Stir in the meat mixture, broccoli and ginger. Cover and microwave another 8 to 10 minutes. Liquid should be absorbed and vermicelli tender. Let stand for 3 minutes before serving.
