Everyone likes Chinese takeout, but it comes with excessive salt and oil. We made a better beef and broccoli that doesn't sacrifice flavor or muscle-building benefits.
Fit Fact: If you want to add size, beef is prime protein. It contains about 2 grams of creatine per pound.
Ingredients
2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 Ibs skirt steak, cut into 1-inch thin slices
1 tsp canola oil
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
Directions
Whisk soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Place steak in a shallow dish. Pour half the marinade over steak. Marinate for 20 minutes. Save leftover marinade.
Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat. Remove beef from marinade and cook 5 minutes.
Add broccoli and remaining marinade and stir-fry up to 5 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Serve beef mixture over rice, if desired.
