Beef With Green Beans

Description

We really enjoyed this super easy dinner which was printed in the newspaper (originally from easy chinese stir-fries). Although i think you can cut the oil in half this isn't bad calorie wise using the amount listed. Also this seems like a lot of pepper but this really isn't a spicy dish — i think the pepper tenderizes the meat some how.
