Easy Beef & Broccoli (serves 4)

Anyone for a dose of protein, fiber, and vitamin C? This lean version of beef and broccoli will keep you feeling full and satisfied due to its fiber count. It's not fried in oil, so even if you ware watching your food intake carefully, you can still enjoy this dish.

Ingredients:

1 lb Top Round or Flank steak (cut in strips or small pieces)
4 c. broccoli, cut (about 2 medium heads)
½ medium yellow onion, chopped rough
2 tsp. minced garlic (~6 cloves)
¼ c reduced-sodium beef broth
Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat wok or skillet and sauté garlic in ½ tbsp. of the broth for 1 minute. Add beef and cook until meat has almost reached your desired level of doneness. Add onions, broccoli, and beef broth and cook until vegetables have softened. Note that covering the pan with a lid for a few minutes will allow the broccoli to steam better and accelerate the cooking time of this last step. Serve over brown rice.
