Count a point if you want to be scrupulous; there are 3 WPAs in the whole recipe, and 4 servings.

1 (3.5 oz) bag boil-in-bag brown rice
½ tsp salt
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
½ tsp crushed red pepper
1 lb lean, boneless sirloin steak, cut into ¼” strips
½ tsp grated orange rind
¼ c orange juice (0.5 WPA spread over 4 servings)
1 TBS cornstarch (1 WPA spread over 4 servings)
2 TBS low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp dark sesame oil (1.5 WPA spread over 4 servings)
¾ c (1”) slices green onions

Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Combine rice and salt, tossing well. Combine garlic, pepper, and beef, tossing well. Combine rind, juice, cornstarch, and soy sauce, stirring with a whisk. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef mixture and onions; saute 2 minutes. Add juice mixture; cook 2 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring frequently. Serve beef mixture over rice.
