Gingered Beef with Broccolini and Walnuts
A diet rich in walnuts may be more effective than the traditional Mediterranean diet at lowering levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a), a compound that increases clotting and can lead to a stroke, according to a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine. Health bonus: Broccolini is a mild-flavored hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale. One serving provides 130% of the DV for vitamin C.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp chile paste with garlic
- ¼ c + 1 Tbsp water, divided
- 2½ tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1½ lb Broccolini, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
- ¾ lb lean flank steak, cut into thin strips
- 1 bunch scallions (about 6), trimmed and cut into 1" pieces
- ⅓ c walnut pieces, toasted and coarsely chopped
Instructions
- 1. WHISK together oyster sauce, ginger, soy sauce, chile paste, and 2 tablespoons of the water in small bowl.
- 2. HEAT oil in wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add Broccolini and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add remaining 3 tablespoons water and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add steak, scallions, and oyster sauce mixture and stir-fry 1 minute or until beef is rosy and just cooked through. Stir in walnuts and serve immediately....
