Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fat-free beef broth
• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 tablespoon reduced-sodium or light soy sauce
• 1 1/2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1/2 tablespoon)
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 ounces raw lean filet mignon or the leanest beef cut you have, thinly sliced
• A pinch of salt
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• 2 tablespoons chopped scallions, plus extra thinly sliced scallions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic, and crushed red pepper until the cornstarch is fully dissolved; set the marinade aside.
2. Lightly season the beef slices with salt, add them to the marinade, and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1015 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick spray. Add the broccoli, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, scallions, and 1/4 cup of the marinade; stir occasionally and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the marinated beef and the remaining marinade; stir and cook until the beef is cooked through, about 23 minutes.
5. Plate the stir-fry, adjust seasoning if desired, garnish with extra scallions if you like, and serve immediately.
