Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ pounds Beef top round steak
⅓ cup Orange juice

5 ounces Carrots; (1 3/4 cups shredded)
3 Green onions; cut in 1/4\" pieces

Directions

1. With sharp knife, trim all fat from round steak. Cut round steak lengthwise in half, then cut each half crosswise into ⅛-inch-thick slices.

2. In small bowl, combine orange juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch.

3. In nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil.

Add orange-juice mixture, cabbage, carrots, and half the green onions to skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Return beef to skillet; heat through.

4. Spoon beef mixture into the lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
