Recipe For Your Waistline

Last night we had a friend over for dinner, so I made my current standard for quick, easy, nutritious, and tasty:  Beef with Broccoli.  I had a fatty-fatso weekend with my poor eating choices, so this is the first step toward getting back on the horse.

Ingredients

Asian Beef Marinade:

• 1/4 cup Dark Sweet Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Fish Sauce
• 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
• 1 tsp Concentrated Garlic Paste
• 1 tbsp Sugar

Main Dish:

• 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil, Canola
• 4 cup Broccoli, Chopped
• 1 lb Beef Sirlion, marinaded

Directions

Asian Beef Marinade: whisk all ingredients together, use to marinate meat.

Main Dish: Cut beef into bite sized pieces and let sit in marinade while you attend to other things. Make sure the meat has been fully coated with marinade.

Heat half the oil in a large wok or pan while you chop broccoli to your taste. Add 2 cups broccoli to heated oil and cook for 2 min or until cooked but still firm. Set aside in serving platter and repeat with the second half of the oil and remaining 2 cups of broccoli.

After the broccoli has been set aside, add beef to the pan, along with marinade. Cover with a lid and cook until browned, but not tough. Maybe 3-5 min.

Pour beef and sauce over broccoli and serve.

Brown rice would be an appropriate accompaniment, but I don't really feel it's necessary to tell you the truth... unless you love brown rice and can't get enough of it.

And of course, I had to map out the nutrition info for you:

Get a load of all that glorious protein!  If you want to cut down the fat, it would be easy to just use less oil without compromising the tastiness of the dish, but don't you dare overcook that broccoli!
