I have a copy of the Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook I bought some time ago and I've never made many recipes from it. I really love this book because as I have read through it I see how healthy eating can help you lose weight. I've never tried the weight watchers program but if I lose a few pounds from using their recipes, all the better! This is one I modified from a recipe in the book, I added some extra vegetables because I had them leftover from the other night but normally I would use just broccoli. This dish is very flavorful as well as good for you!
Beef and Broccoli
(adapted from Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook)
2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
dash red pepper flakes
1 lb. beef for stir fry (sirloin steak strips work well)
1 tsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. canola oil
4 c. frozen broccoli
3 scallions, sliced
sesame seeds for serving
Combine first 7 ingredients in a large Ziploc bag then add beef and shake well. Place Ziploc bag in refrigerator for at least one hour.
Drain marinade into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 1/3 cup of liquid. Add corn starch and stir well.
Heat oil in a large non-tick skillet or wok over high heat. Add canola oil and beef., stir fry until beef loses it's red color. Remove beef to a plate. Add broccoli to pan and stir fry 3 minutes. Add back beef and pour in marinade. Stir fry until sauce thickens. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds and serve over brown rice.
