Slimmed down Asian beef and broccoli 

Is there anything more satisfying than a savory plate of Chinese or Japanese cuisine when you’re hungry? There also isn’t a lot of stuff that is more fattening, with many dishes clocking in at over 1000 calories! Last night I made my own version, with a side of egg whites, just because I’m trying to cut down on my carbs a little. But I would definitely serve this over brown rice or quinoa. I made this dish for myself only but it can be tailored to feed more.


4oz steak, cooked to your preference 

1 C broccoli 

1/4C water for steaming 

1/5 C of low sodium soy sauce

1tbsp brown sugar 

2tsp corn starch

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4C water, to thin sauce

Bring 1/4C of water to a boil in a skillet greased with nonstick. Add broccoli and cover. While broccoli is steaming, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, corn starch and garlic in small bowl. When broccoli is tender, add steak, then pour over sauce, stirring constantly.  When sauce hits pan it will thicken. Start adding water until it is the consistency you prefer. Serve with your choice of sides.
