Beef Noodle Bowl


I originally got this recipe from Kraft Foods but I use the variation suggestion at the bottom of the recipe. My favorite part is adding the optional dry roasted peanuts on top.

Beef Noodle Bowl

8 oz linguine, uncooked
3 c broccoli florets
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced (about 2 cups)
1/4 c Italian dressing
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp oil
1 lb beef sirloin, cut in strips (you can also use chicken like I did in this photo)
1/4 c teriyaki sauce
optional: dry roasted peanuts

Cook pasta; add veggies to cooking water last 2 minutes. Drain pasta mixture. Meanwhile, heat oil in large non-stick skillet. Add meat, cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Add dressing, teriyaki sauce, ginger and cook until sauce thickens. Toss pasta and meat in large serving bowl. Add dry roasted peanuts before serving if you wish. The only thing I might do different next time is cook more noodles. We had leftovers but it was mainly just veggies and meat.
