1 lb. round tip steaks, 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick
6 ounce cooked thin spaghetti

1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained (8 oz.)
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
2 tablespoon red chili peppers, chopped
MARINADE:
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

Stack beef 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. Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions; keep warm.
Remove beef from marinade. Bring marinade to a rolling boil; reserve marinade. Heat large nonstick wok or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add beef (half at a time) and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until outside is no longer pink. (Do not overcook). Remove beef; keep warm.
In same skillet, combine pasta, spinach, water chestnuts, green onions and reserved marinade; cook until spinach is wilted and mixture is heated through, stirring occasionally. Return beef to skillet; mix lightly. Garnish with chili peppers.
