Mongolian Beef w/Asian Style Rice

This was a huge hit with my husband who is NOT dieting. My goal is to make food within my diet that he enjoys as well. A great dish to make with guests that will still be healthy!

Mongolian Beef

(This is part of the WW Core diet recipes- when using whole wheat flour, each serving is less than a half of a "point"- you can sub the flour for 1T cornstarch on marinade, 2 1/2t cornstarch on sauce for 1.5 "points" per serving)

Marinade:
1T Soy Sauce
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 1/2 T Whole Wheat Flour

Sauce:
2T Soy Sauce
3 1/2 t Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 t Splenda
2t-1T of crushed red pepper (2t= mild, 1T= spicy, 2T= HOT)
3/4 c water

2T Olive Oil
1 Bunch of Green Onion (I used green & white)
1lb of LEAN round steak (thin)- thinly sliced

Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add steak & coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Mix sauce ingredients in another bowl.

Heat 1T of olive oil in a pan. Cook onion till tender. Add 1T of olive oil and cook steak. When cooked, add sauce. Cook & stir until sauce boils & thickens.

Serve with or over rice.


Asian Style Rice

1 c of brown rice
2 c chicken broth or water with bullion cubes
1/4 c onion
1 clove of garlic
1/8 c soy
1 T sesame oil (I used sesame chili oil for heat)
1 t Splenda
Couple of shakes out of a crushed red pepper bottle.

Cook brown rice in chicken broth/bullion. Halfway through, add the onion. When the rice is finished cooking, add garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil/sesame chili oil, Splenda and red pepper. Stir and serve!

I assume you cut the steak against the grain since round steak is tough?
