Ingredients
12 oz rump steak
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dry sherry
1 piece fresh ginger, peeled, grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 pinch five-spice powder
= (or Mrs. Dash)
1 tsp chili sauce
1 tbsp oil
6 green onions, sliced diagonally
1 small red pepper, seeded, diced
8 crisp lettuce cups, to serve
Parsley sprigs, to garnish
Directions
Cut steak into thin slivers and put in a bowl. Add soy sauce, sherry,
ginger, garlic, five-spice powder and chili sauce. Mix well, then cover
and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add onion and red pepper and
stir-fry for 1 minute. Add beef mixture to pan and stir-fry for 2 to 3
minutes, stirring all the time. Turn mixture into a warm serving dish.
Serve at once with chilled lettuce cups, garnished with sprig of parsley.
To serve, simply spoon beef mixture into lettuce cups and eat with the
fingers. Serve with plenty of napkins or finger bowls -- it can be a
little messy.
This recipe yields 8 servings; 4 carb grams per serving (without additional
starch).
Comments: If your stage of diet can handle an extra 2 to 3 carbs per
serving, take the following extra step to make mixture richer and thicker:
Blend 1 teaspoon corn or potato starch smoothly with 1 teaspoon water and
add to pan. Cook an extra minute stirring constantly to thicken.

With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
