Ramen Stir-Fry

1		pound beef boneless sirloin (I use hamburger)
1		tablespoon vegetable oil
2		cups water
1		package (3 ounces) Oriental-flavor ramen noodle soup mix
1		package (16 oz) fresh stir-fry vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, snow pea pods and bell peppers) (4 cups)
1/4		cup stir-fry sauce
1.	Remove fat from beef. Cut beef into thin strips. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown. Remove beef from skillet; keep warm.
2.	In same skillet, heat water to boiling. Break up noodles from soup mix into water; stir until slightly softened. Stir in vegetables.
3.	Heat to boiling. Boil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in contents of seasoning packet from soup mix, stir-fry sauce and beef. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until hot.

Substitution

Use 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of the sirloin.

Success

You will find the beef easier to cut if it's partially frozen; about 30 minutes in the freezer should do.
