We tried a new recipe today. Its wasn't half bad. I'm not going to say it was on my top 10 by any means, but it was pretty good. It could definitely curb any Chinese food craving without a problem and for much less points than eating out or ordering in. Its from the Weight Watchers Spring 2008 five ingredient 15 minute cookbook which I found at Walmart.
Mongolian Beef
5 points, 4 svgs (1 cup svg)
prep: 7 min
cook: 8 min
1 Tbsp dark sesame oil
2 tea minced garlic
4 green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (1lb) flank steak, trimmed and cut crosswise into thin strips
1/4 c water
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
4 tea cornstarch
2 tea crushed red pepper flakes
2 tea brown sugar
toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Heat oil in large non-stick skillet over med-hi heat
Add garlic & green onions and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute
Add beef and cook 5 minutes or til beef is browned, stirring frequently
While beef cooks combine water and next 4 ingredients in small bowl
Pour mixture over beef
Cook 1-2 minutes or til sauce is thickened and beef is cooked through
Garnish with sesame seeds
We needed to add a little soy sauce but it was pretty good. We had it with Thai rice noodles, which I had for the first time tonight. They were pretty good. That made everything take a little bit longer because you have to soak them for 35 minutes before adding to the recipe, but it was worth it. I'm starting to be quite the little rice eater which is VERY new for me. So, total, our supper was 9 points. Fruit and Cool Whip for dessert later and maybe a chocolate chip cookie...the new WW ones aren't too bad.
