Broccoli Beef

2 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp Italian dressing

1 tsp cornstarch

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1 tsp ground ginger

1 c fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 cup celery, sliced

1/2 c green onion, sliced

3/4 lb round steak, cut into strips

6 c water

5 cubes beef bouillon

4 oz linguine pasta, uncooked

1/2 cup beef broth

1 pound broccoli, separated into florets

Stir together soy sauce, Italian dressing, cornstarch, garlic and ginger.  Place steak strips in the mixture to marinate for 15 minutes.

While beef marinates, combine the bouillon cubes in water in a large saucepan.  Bring to a boil and add pasta.  Cook for about 8 minutes or until al dente.  Drain.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Remove beef from marinade with slotted spoon and place in hot skillet.  Discard marinade.  Cook beef for 2-3 minutes, or until mostly browned.  Stir in beef broth, mushrooms, green onions, celery and cover, simmer for about 5 minutes.  Remove lid, add broccoli, and cook until broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp.  Add drained linguine, toss, and serve.
