Beef and Broccoli Recipe

I made Weight Watchers Beef and Broccoli for dinner last night and it was so good I thought I would share it with everyone. It was pretty easy and it is all made in one pan which is nice too. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.

 Serving size 1 1/4 cups.  5 points per serving.


Ingredients:

2 1/2 Tbsp Cornstarch, divided
1/4 tsp table salt (I used seasoning salt)
 3/4 pound lean beef trimed, thinly sliced
2 tsp canola oil
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
5 cups broccoli florets (or 1 12 oz bag of thawed broccoli)
1 Tbsp of fresh ginger minced
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or to your taste
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water

Directions:

* On a plate combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and salt, toss beef in mixture to coat
* Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat
* Add beef and saute until cooked and brown about 4 minutes
* Transfer beef to a bowl with a slotted spoon
* Add a 1/2 cup broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of pan to pick up drippings
* Add broccoli and cover.
* Cook until tender crisp and add a few tbsp of water if needed (about 3 minutes)
* Uncover and add garlic, ginger, and red pepper
* Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute)
* In a cup stir together soy sauce, the rest of the broth, the rest of the cornstarch, and the water
* Pour into pan and reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer
* Simmer until thickened
* Return beef and any juices to the pan
* Toss to coat and serve
