Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 lb steak flank or sirloin
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 tbsp Sucrin® Gold or some other zero calorie brown sugar substitute
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced sweet onions
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Cut steak into thin 1.5 inch pieces.

  2. In a large bowl, mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with 3 tbsp of water. Add the beef pieces and toss until coated with the cornstarch mixture.

  3. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tbsp cornstarch with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar substitute and set aside.

  4. On medium heat, place a large nonstick sauté pan on the burner and add 1 tbsp of olive oil.

  5. After the oil is hot, add the beef. Cook, stirring constantly, until it is nearly cooked through.

  6. Remove the beef to a plate.

  7. Add remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil to the sauté pan. Once it is hot, add the sliced onions and broccoli. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the broccoli is tender, about 7 minutes.

  8. Return the beef back to the pan, add the mushrooms, and the prepared sauce.

  9. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

  10. Serve with cauliflower rice if you’re on Phase 3 of the HCG Diet (first 3 weeks of maintenance) or any type of weight loss program.  Otherwise, any type of rice will do!
