Beef Stir-fry with Mushrooms and Sweet Pepper

1/4 tsp dried marjoram, crumbled
1/4 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine (*I used sake)
1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 tsp cornstarch blended with 1 tablespoon cold water
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 tsp vegetable oil
6 oz boneless top round steak, cut across the grain into finger-size strips
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 small sweet green pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced lengthwise into strips about 1/4 inch wide
1/4 lb mushrooms, sliced thin

1. Lightly coat a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet with the cooking spray and set over moderately high heat; add the vegetable oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the steak and stir-fry for 1 minute or until it is no longer pink; remove to a warm plate.

2. Add the onion and green pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 1 minute. Mix in the mushrooms, marjoram, thyme, and black pepper, and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes longer or until the mushrooms are golden.

3. Raise the heat to high, stir in the wine, and boil, uncovered, for 1 minute.

4. Add the beef broth and adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently; cover and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

5. Blend in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened- 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef to the skillet and cook 1 minute longer or until just heated through. Serves 2.
