This sounds really good to me, but I LOVE greens.  If I serve this at home, I would probably ignore the potatoes, but my family loves red potatoes so that would not be a problem.

Serves: 6 (regular)

This is a heart-healthy one-dish meal that is made with lean top round beef, lots of vegetables, and a spicy, herb mixture.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb. top round beef
1 tablespoon paprika
1-1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

2 large carrots, peeled, cut into very thin 2-1/2-inch strips
2 bunches (about 1 pound each) mustard greens, kale, or turnip greens, stems removed, coarsely torn

1. Partially freeze beef. Thinly slice across the grain into long strips 1/8" thick and 3" wide.
2. Combine paprika, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper, and dry mustard in a zipper bag. Coat strips of meat with the spice mixture by shaking in bag.
