Weight Watchers Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe
Weight Watchers Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry Recipe is a classic Chinese food favorite! A healthy dinner option that’s delicious!
One of my favorite healthy and quick dinners to make is beef and broccoli stir fry. It’s easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients.
This quick and easy dinner is made with lean beef strip sirloin, chicken broth, ginger root, garlic, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce.
It can be on the table in under 30 minutes. Plus, it’s packed with nutrients – broccoli is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, while beef is a good source of protein.
I like to use a wok for this dish because it evenly distributes the heat, but you can use a frying pan if you don’t have one.
Break out the wok and you can have Chinese food without leaving the house!

What is Stir Fry
One of the most popular methods of cooking in Asian cuisine is stir fry. Though it is often associated with Chinese food, stir fry is actually a cooking technique that is used in many different cultures.
The word “stir fry” comes from the Chinese phrase “chao men,” which literally means “to stir fry.” At its most basic, stir fry is a method of cooking in which small pieces of food are cooked quickly over high heat while being constantly stirred.
This type of cooking allows for the food to retain its texture and flavor while also being cooked evenly.
Stir fry is typically made with a combination of meat and vegetables, though it can also be made with just vegetables or even just meat.
In addition to being quick and easy to make, stir fry is also a very healthy way to cook as it requires very little oil. As a result, it has become a popular option for those looking to eat healthy.
What is Beef Strip Sirloin
Beef strip sirloin is a popular cut of beef that comes from the strip loin, which is located between the short loin and the round.
This lean and versatile cut can be prepared in a variety of ways, making it a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike.
When choosing a beef strip sirloin, look for a cut that is well-marbled with fat for the best flavor and tenderness.
This cut is best cooked using methods that involve dry heat, such as grilling, broiling, or roasting. Beef strip sirloin is an excellent choice for any steak lover looking for a delicious and affordable option.
