The Ingredients
Lean Beef: Provides high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins for energy and muscle support. Choosing lean cuts like flank or sirloin keeps it Weight Watchers friendly.
Sesame Oil: Adds a boost of healthy fats that support heart health. A small amount goes a long way in flavor.
Garlic: Naturally low in calories, garlic supports immunity and adds bold taste without added fat or carbs.
Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger also helps digestion and gives this dish a fresh, zesty kick.
Soy Sauce: Enhances flavor with minimal calories. Using low-sodium versions helps reduce excess salt intake.
Rice Vinegar: Light and tangy, it adds brightness without points. Vinegar may also help with blood sugar balance.
Oyster Sauce: This has a rich, savory, slightly sweet umami taste that enhances the beef and veggies, making the stir-fry taste more complex without needing extra sugar or heavy sauces.
Broccoli: Packed with fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants that support immunity and digestion while being naturally low carb.
Zucchini: A hydrating, low-calorie vegetable that’s rich in vitamin A and potassium — it keeps you full without weighing down the dish.
Red Bell Pepper: Naturally sweet and colorful, peppers are loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber.
Green Onions: Add crunch and freshness with very few calories.
