SOUTH BEACH DIET™ Tip
Start your party off with these fun-to-dip appetizers that can help your guests eat right!

Make it Easy
To more easily cut the beef into thin strips, freeze the steak for 20 to 30 min. or until slightly firm, then cut into strips as directed.

Great Substitute
Prepare as directed, substituting 3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 24 strips, for the steak strips.

Special Extra
Experiment with the many varieties of mushrooms that are now available in your supermarket. Shiitake mushrooms add a nice touch to these beef skewers. Just be sure to remove the tough stems before using.
