Beef and Broccoli

Pin It

Made this for dinner tonight, and it was so YUM!  My husband and I both seriously dropped our  jaws over it and added it to our "definitely make again" category.  Even better, it didn't take me more than about 30 minutes to make!  Boom.  (Adapted from Muscle and Fitness Hers recipe).

Serves: 2

Calories per serving: ~385 (depending on the leanness of the meat you use)

Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic chopped

2 tsp ginger, chopped (I buy this fresh and freeze it for when I need it :) )

1/2 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 small bunch broccoli florets in small pieces

12 oz flank or skirt steak (I used filet mignon, so it was a bit less calories), thinly sliced

1 lime, juiced (or about 2 tsp bottled lime juice)

1/2 tsp sesame oil

2 tsp low sodium soy sauce or Braggs

2 tsp cornstarch

Directions:

1. Heat a large saute pan or wok to medium heat. Add olive oil and beef and cook for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Scoop meat out of the pan and keep warm. I put mine in a bowl with a paper towel to soak up the extra oil.

2. Add garlic and ginger to pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Add yellow onion, broccoli, 1/4 cup of water, sesame oil, soy sauce. Cook 6-8 minutes or until broccoli is bright green.

3. Add cooked beef back to pan and season with soy sauce.

4. Mix 1/2 cup of water with cornstarch and add to pan. Bring to a boil. Add lime juice. Serve with brown rice and hot sauce if desired.  I just added extra Braggs to mine.  Yum!!
