Makes 8 servings
<o:p> </o:p>
Ingredients:
<o:p> </o:p>
1 (1 1/4-pound) flank steak, cut diagonally into thin strips
6 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1 teaspoon chili paste
2 garlic cloves, minced

<o:p> </o:p>
Cooking Instructions:
<o:p> </o:p>
1. Thread the steak onto sixteen 12-inch bamboo skewers. Place the skewers in a large baking dish.
<o:p> </o:p>
2. In a small bowl, combine the scallions, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sugar, ginger, fish sauce, chili paste, and garlic; pour over the meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
<o:p> </o:p>
3. Spray the broiler rack with nonstick spray; preheat the broiler. Drain the marinade into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, over high heat, until the sauce is thickened and the consistency of syrup, about 15 minutes.
<o:p> </o:p>
4. Meanwhile, place the skewers on the broiler rack and broil 4 inches from the heat, turning frequently, until the meat is browned on both sides, about 8 minutes. Arrange the skewers on a platter and drizzle with the sauce.

Ian, I tried this and tweaked it a tad to include red and orange bell peppers, sweet onions and carrot spears, and sugar snap peas, all threaded onto skewers. I replaced the sugar with Splenda. Verdict? EXCELLENT!

Tried something that was delicious this week. Publix had a sale on Rice-A-Roni and I bought one of the spicy boxes with brown rice. I did not add any oil or butter since there was nothing to be browned.
I added 1/2 cup broccoli cuts, 1/2 cup sliced baby carrots, halved cherry tomatoes and water.
It really was yummy~
