Ginger Garlic Beef

(makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces lean top round steak
  
  


• ½ cup reduced sodium beef broth
  
  


• 3 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
  
  


• 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  
  


• 2½ tsp cornstarch
  
  


• 4 green onions, sliced in 1” pieces
  
  


• 1 tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil
  
  


• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  
  


• 1 clove garlic, smashed
  
  


• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  
  


• 1 tsp sugar
  
  


• Low-fat cooking spray
  
  

Preparation:

• Wrap steak in plastic wrap then place in a freezer for about 30 minutes to partially freeze to make it easier to slice.
  
  


• Trim off any excess fat then thinly slice beef into small pieces.
  
  


• Whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, sugar, cornstarch and garlic in a small bowl, set aside.
  
  


• Spray a large-sized skillet with low-fat cooking spray then heat to medium-high heat. Add broccoli, mushrooms and green onions, stir-fry until broccoli is crisp-tender (about 4 minutes). Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside.
  
  


• Add beef to skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until browned on both sides. Stir in the soy sauce mixture then cook until thickened and bubbling. Add vegetables into skillet and stir together until heated through then serve warm.
  
  

Tip: Serve over cooked rice or Asian noodles.
