Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound beef flank steak or boneless top sirloin or top round steak, cut 3/4-inch thick
1/2 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms (optional)
3 cups packaged coleslaw mix
2/3 cup sliced green onions

Marinade:
2 tablespoons each reduced-sodium soy sauce and water
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

Cooking Directions:

1. Soak mushrooms in 1 cup hot water 20 minutes or until softened. Drain well; remove and discard stems. Cut caps into thin strips.
