12 ounces beef top round steak
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 medium zucchini, cut into julienne strips
6 green onions, bias-cut into 1-inch pieces

directions
Trim fat from beef. Partially freeze beef. Thinly slice across grain into bite-size strips. Set aside.
For sauce, in a small bowl stir together fish sauce, water, lime peel, lime juice, and sugar. Set aside.
Pour cooking oil into a wok or large skillet. (Add more oil as necessary during cooking.) Preheat over medium-high heat.
Stir-fry zucchini in hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove zucchini from the wok. Add green onions to the hot wok; stir-fry for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove green onions from wok.
Add jalapeno pepper, ginger, and garlic to the hot wok. Stir-fry for 15 seconds. Add beef; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly pink in center. Return zucchini and green onions to the wok. Add sauce. Cook and stir about 2 minutes more or until heated through.
Serve immediately with hot cooked rice sticks or rice. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
