Beef in a Leaf

This is one of the delicious things my husband makes when he decides to cook. It is made of lean sirloin strips cooked in a spicy and sweet balsamic sauce and tossed with angel hair pasta, and eaten wrapped in lettuce leaves. We pulled it out of a Weight Watcher's cookbook many years ago and we love it because it's light, but satisfying, tastes great, is colorful, and fun to eat.

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 pound lean sirloin steak, cut into strips
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes - or more if you like it hot!
• 4 cups cooked capellini (angel-hair pasta)
• lots of lettuce (large leaves)

1. In large saute pan, cook steak in olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add in pasta and toss. 
4. Serve about 1/4 cup in each lettuce leaf.
