Orange Beef and Broccoli

I bought a great new cookbook from Weight Watchers, so of course I had to try some of the recipes right away! This one was good for when your craving Chinese but want a healthier alternative.

1 large bunch broccoli

3 naval oranges

1 Tbsp. cornstarch

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

3 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 (1-1/4 lb) flank steak, trimmed, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced against the grain

1/3 c. water

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

3 scallions, cut into 1 inch pieces

3 large garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbsp. minced, peeled ginger

1. Cut broccoli into smaller, bite sized pieces.

2. Grate 1 tsp. orange zest from 1 orange, then squeeze 3/4 juice (from about 2 oranges) into a small bowl or Pyrex measuring cup. Add cornstarch, pepper flakes, orange zest, and 2 Tbsp. soy sauce.

3. Spray a skillet or wok with non stick cooking spray and set over med-hi heat. Toss beef with remaining 1 Tbsp. soy sauce in a large bowl. Add beef to wok and stir fry until beef is no longer pink, about 1 minute or so. Transfer to a plate.

4. Add broccoli and water to wok. Cover and cook 1 minute. Uncover, add bell pepper and stir fry 1 minute. Stir in scallions, garlic, and ginger; stir fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir orange juice mixture and add to wok. Stir fry until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Stir in beef and cook until heated through.
