This is a clean yet flavorful meal that I found on the Weight Watchers website.
Start with 3/4 pound of lean thin sirloin steaks.
Cut the steaks into thin strips.
Heat 2 teaspoons of canola or olive oil over medium high heat.[Please note my beautiful Cuisinart stainless steel pan I got for Christmas! So great! Thanks Dad!]
Toss steak slices in 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
Transfer steak to skillet and saute until brown, about 4 minutes, then remove from pan and let rest in a bowl.
In skillet, add 1/2 cup chicken broth and broccoli, toss for 3 minutes or until tender but still firm. Add garlic, red pepper flakes [don't be shy with these, you want some kick!], and ginger. Stir remaining liquid ingredients together and pour into pan. Let thicken for one minute. Then add back steak to pan and toss with sauce and broccoli.
Serve with white or brown rice. Enjoy!
