Sesame Beef Stir-Fy



I got this recipe from Cooking Light b/c I wanted to find a healthy recipe that we could all try. I know with the holidays around the corner we are going to be eating the most wonderful foods that are really just plain bad for us..who cares though!!! However, wouldn't it be to nice to eat healthy on the downtime. So here one is....I have not tried it but I am very excited to try it. Let me know what you think. Keeper...or tosser?

1 (1-pound) lean flank steak
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups red bell pepper strips

2 cups yellow bell pepper strips

1/2 cup no-salt-added beef broth

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 cups thinly sliced bok choy

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon salt

4 cups hot cooked rice


Trim fat from steak; rub surface of steak with five-spice powder. Slice steak diagonally across grain into thin strips.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add beef, and stir-fry 4 minutes. Add bell peppers, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Combine broth, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to beef mixture. Add bok choy, and cook 1 minute or until bok choy wilts and mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in toasted sesame seeds and salt. Serve over rice.
