Easy Pepper Steak

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
• 2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tbs cornstarch
• 2 tsp canola oil
• 1 lb flank steak, trimmed and thinly sliced against the grain
• 4 assorted-color bell peppers, cut into thin strips
• 6 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Makes 6 Servings

1. Stir together 1 1/4 cups of the broth, the soy sauce and the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a nonstick wok or a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the steak and stir-fry until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
3. Add the bell peppers to the wok and stir-fry until crispy-tender about 3 minutes. Add the scallions and garlic; stir-fry about 1 minute. Add the remaining 1/2 cup broth; cook, covered, about 3 minutes. Return the beef to the wok. Stir the cornstarch mixture and add to the wok; stir-fry until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 1 minute longer.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. I love steak and I love bell peppers. The smell of beef broth and soy sauce has a nice aroma as well. This is a very easy an tasty recipe to make and eat. You don't necessarily have to use flak steak; you can use sirloin or any other kind of steak for this dish. You can even serve rice with this dish if you desire.
