ingredients

1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. naturally brewed reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
2 tsp. acacia or other mild honey
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root
10 oz. lean beef tenderloin (antibiotic free) cut into 1/4-inch strips

1 (14.25-oz.) can natural fat-free beef-flavored broth
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint (optional)

preparation

Serves 4
Serving size: 1 cup

1. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, oil, honey, and ginger. Add the beef and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate up to 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, boil the soba noodles until tender, but still firm, about 4 minutes (or 1 minute less than package instructions). Drain.
3. In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the broth to a boil. Add the noodles and beef with marinade. Cook 2 minutes, or until a full boil is reached and the beef is cooked through. Top with green onion and mint (if using) to serve.
