Today’s WINNING recipe to meet Coach JC’s 10 WINNING Habits is Cashew Beef with broccoli Stir-Fry. Where are my veggies? Where is my lean protein?

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 ounces trimmed boneless beef top round, cut across the grain into thin slices, slices cut into 1″ bite-size pieces
2 whole stalks broccoli, cut into small florets, stems halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced crosswise (about 5 cups)
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1″ piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into thin strips
1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons cashews
2 cups cooked brown rice (optional)

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, and red-pepper flakes. Add the beef and toss to mix. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, place a steamer basket in a large pot with 2″ of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Place the broccoli in the basket, cover, and steam for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Remove the broccoli from the steamer and rinse briefly under cold running water. Set aside.

Drain the beef, reserving the marinade.

Mix the broth and cornstarch in a cup. In a large, deep nonstick skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic and ginger and stirfry for 30 seconds, just until fragrant; do not brown. Add half the drained beef strips and stir-fry about 2 minutes, or just until no longer pink; transfer to a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining beef strips.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the bell pepper and stir-fry until just crisptender, about 2 minutes. Return the beef and any juices, the reserved marinade, and the steamed broccoli to the skillet. Toss to mix. Stir-fry about 2 minutes, or until heated through. Stir the cornstarch mixture again; add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the cashews. Serve over the rice.
