1. Stack beef Top Sirloin Steaks; cut lengthwise in half and then crosswise into 1-inch wide strips. Combine marinade ingredients; add beef, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; keep warm.

   Cook's Tip: You may substitute your favorite rice noodle for thin spaghetti.

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