Yield: Makes 4 Servings.
Source: National Cattlemen's Beef Association
Note: Thinly sliced green cabbage may be substituted for coleslaw mix.

INGREDIENTS

- 1 pound boneless beef top sirloin or top round steak,
cut 3/4 inch thick or flank steak
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms (optional)
- 3 cups packaged coleslaw mix
- 2/3 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
- 8 medium flour tortillas (8-inch diameter), warmed
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce

Marinade Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS

Pour hot water over mushrooms, if desired, in small bowl;
let stand 20 minutes or until mushrooms are softened.

Meanwhile cut beef steak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into
thin strips. Stack 3 or 4 strips at a time; cut lengthwise in half
to form thinner strips. Combine marinade ingredients in large bowl.
Add beef; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes.

Meanwhile drain mushrooms well; remove and discard stems.
Cut mushrooms into thin strips.

Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Heat large nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1/2 of beef; stir-fry
1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink.
(Do not overcook.) Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining beef.

Return all beef to skillet. Add mushrooms, coleslaw mix, green
onions and cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir until sauce is
thickened and bubbly.

To assemble, spread one side of each tortilla with 2 teaspoons
hoisin sauce. Spoon about 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each
tortilla. Fold bottom edge up over filling. Fold right and left
sides to center, overlapping edges.
