Yummy Beef & Broccoli

My hubby and I have a "Biggest Loser" cook book that we cook out of often and this weekend I made the Beef & Broccoli out of it for the first time. It was YUMMY, HEALTHY, & EASY... so I thought I'd share it with y'all...

SZECHUAN BEEF AND BROCCOLI

1 lb of chuck steak, sliced against the grain, into thin strips (1/4")

1 tsp. garlic powder

Salt to taste

Ground black pepper, to taste

Olive oil spray

1 (14 oz) bag frozen broccoli

1 Tblsp. freshly minced garlic

2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

1/4 cup bottled Szechuan stir-fry sauce 

In a large bowl, combine the steak, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss until will combined.

Place a large non-stick skillet or nonstick wok over high heat. When hot, mist it with the olive oil spray. Add the broccoli and garlic and cook, stirring, for 4 - 6 minutes, or until the garlic softens and the broccoli is heated through and crisp tender, being careful not to burn the garlic. Transfer to a large bowl and cover to keep warm.

Return the pan to high heat and add 2 tsp of the sesame oil. When hot, add the steak in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on both sides, 2 - 3 minutes. Return the veggies to the pan with the meat, and remove from the heat. Add the Szechuan stir fry sauce and mix well to coat. Divide among 4 bowls and serve.
