Hi there! My DH loves this ~ I'm sure yours will too! I got the recipe from south beach diet online. It's a free recipe part of the website. Kraft online also has a south beach recipe section that is free.

1/2 cup light soy sauce
2 tablespoons granulated brown sugar substitute
2 tablespoons sugar substitute
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, 1 1/2" thick, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 cup creamy unsweetened natural peanut butter
3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 green bell pepper, cut into squares
1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
1 large onion, cut into wedges

Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine half of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon of the sugar substitute, and 2 of the pressed garlic cloves. Add the steak and stir to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes, stirring once.

Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the peanut butter, water, lime juice, ginger, ground red pepper, the remaining half of the soy sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar substitute, and the remaining 2 cloves pressed garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils. Remove it from heat.

Coat a grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill to high.

Thread the steak, peppers, and onion onto four metal skewers. Place on the grill rack and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the steak is no longer pink, and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 160°F and the juices run clear. Serve with the peanut sauce.

TOTALLY legal for phase 1!! I'm telling you if you find some yummy phase 1 recipes the only way you'll even realize you are on a new eating plan will be the weight you are losing. I originally started the SBD around 121 lbs (5'4") and by the time I had stopped losing I was 107!! Now I backslid a bit and I was up to 116 or so. I'm now around 113 but I've also majorly stepped up my workout which I know muscle weighs more. I can tell I'm losing where I need to be and I feel great. I did phase 1 again for 1 week just to get some discipline back in my life. I'm doing very well on phase 2. I just bought the brand new south beach diet summer recipes book and there are SO many great recipes in it that cover ALL of the phases. I highly recommend it.

Good luck on your new journey!

Susan,


Just wanted to let you know that this recipe is fine for phase 1 as long as you omit the brown sugar (or use a sugar-free substitute).
