Ingredients
-
1 Tbsp. cornstarch -
1 Tbsp. soy sauce (lowest sodium available) -
1 tsp. grated, peeled gingerroot -
1 medium garlic clove (minced) -
1 lb. boneless steak, all visible fat discarded, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips, longer strips halved crosswise -
1 cup uncooked, instant brown rice -
1 cup fat-free, lower-sodium beef broth -
2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce (lowest sodium available) -
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil -
1 tsp. canola or corn oil -
3 oz. broccoli florets, broken into bite-size pieces -
1 medium yellow summer squash, thinly sliced crosswise -
4 medium green onions (thinly sliced) -
2 oz. red cabbage (shredded) -
1-2 Tbsp. water, as needed
Directions
-
Put the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add the soy sauce, gingerroot, and garlic, whisking to dissolve the cornstarch. Add the beef, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes, turning occasionally. -
Meanwhile, prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt and margarine. Set aside. -
In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside. -
In a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the beef mixture for 5 minutes, or until the beef is browned on the outside (it may be slightly pink in the center), stirring constantly. Transfer the beef mixture to a large plate. -
In the same skillet, still over medium-high heat, stir together the remaining ingredients except the water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring constantly. If the mixture becomes too dry, stir in the water. -
Return the beef mixture to the skillet. Pour in the broth mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the broth mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Serve the stir-fry over the rice.
