Description
A quick, healthy, and delicious dish featuring tender beef and crisp vegetables coated in a savory garlic-ginger sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean flank steak (trimmed of fat, thinly sliced)
- 4 cups baby bok choy (chopped, stems and leaves separated)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- ½ cup water
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional, +1 point)
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional, for heat)
- Cooking spray
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, water, hoisin sauce (if using), and sriracha. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Add garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Re-spray the skillet and add bok choy stems and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add bok choy leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Return beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly.
- Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over cauliflower rice (0 points) or brown rice (track points).
Notes
- This dish is great for customization; feel free to swap out beef for chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- For a vegetarian or vegan version, use tofu or tempeh.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha for heat or more hoisin sauce for sweetness.
