Beef and Broccoli-5 WW pts

This is by far my favorite Weight Watcher's meal-Beef and Broccoli with rice.  It's really full of flavor and you can pair it with white or brown rice.  One serving is a 1 1/4 cup of beef and broccoli, which is 5 WW pts and I usually do a cup of cooked white rice which is another 5 WW pts.  Usually the entire meal is 10 pts and it's extremely filling.  This is straight from the WW website. 

Beef and Broccoli
Pinned Image

2 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch, divided     
1/4 tsp table salt   
3/4 pound(s) uncooked lean trimmed sirloin beef, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tsp canola oil   
1 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided   
5 cup(s) uncooked broccoli, florets (about a 12 oz bag)   
1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced   
2 tsp minced garlic   
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste   
1/4 cup(s) low-sodium soy sauce   
1/2 cup(s) water   
  • On a plate, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch and salt; add beef and toss to coat.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick wok or large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add 1/2 cup broth to same pan; stir to loosen any bits on food on bottom of pan. Add broccoli; cover and cook, tossing occasionally and sprinkling with a tablespoon water if needed, until broccoli is almost crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover pan and add ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes; stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • In a cup, stir together soy sauce, remaining 1/2 cup broth, remaining 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch and water until blended; stir into pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer; simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Return beef and accumulated juices to pan; toss to coat. Serve. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

    2. It really is the best food I have had while dieting! Ginger root is key though. I've never cooked with it before this dish and it adds a lot of flavor. I'll have to post my other favorite sometime this week. It's a spicy cheddar-broccoli soup.
