Steak Stir-Fry

1 lg. carrot - chopped

6-8 Brussels sprouts - sliced

4 green onions - sliced

1/2 lg. yellow beet - slice-chop

1 mini red pepper - sliced

fresh ground pepper

1/2 lemon - juiced

3T dark fig balsamic vinegar 

stir-fry sauce or soy sauce

12oz. lean steak - slice or cube

1/2c slivered almonds

Combine everything, but the steak and almonds, in a medium size bowl.  Toss and mix well so everything is coated by the marinade, then let stand 15 minutes or so.  Drain some of the marinade onto the steak in a medium non-stick skillet.  Put the vegetables into a larger skillet and sauté until they're still crisp, but slightly tender.  Meanwhile, stir and sizzle the steak for only a few minutes until it's almost as done as you'd like.

Put the steak and almonds into the larger vegetable pan, stir and sauté all of this together for a few minutes.  Serve as is or over rice or noodles. . .Lin
