Low-Calorie Chinese Pepper Steak image

As to the puported "healthiness" of this recipe, I would point out that I garnered it from a 30-plus year-old newspaper clipping so don't hold me to that aspect. It is listed at 237 calories per serving, not counting the rice, and the recipe makes 4 servings. What I can tell you is that we like it and it tastes great. It's a nice supper for a change of pace.
