HeidiPowell_CMLMFLRecipe#1

How often do you hear (sometimes from way across the house), ?Mom! What?s for dinner?!? Or, here?s another favorite: You ask your kids (and even maybe your husband) what they want for dinner, and they say, ?I don?t care.? Yeah. I?d like to invent ?I don?t care.? I?d make a bazillion!

Anyway. Today I?m coming to your dinner time rescue with a Powell Pack favorite that?s quick, yummy, healthy, and soooo simple?.AND it happens to be one of the delicious recipes featured in my man?s book, Choose More, Lose More For Life!!? Which, by the way, just released in paperback, and I?m happy to share that I will be giving away one signed copy to a lucky reader! Details at the bottom of this post.

So, back to the recipe?like I said, it is super versatile?besides steak, you can also use chicken or lean pork tenderloin, and if you have leftovers of any of these, you can throw them in for an even faster meal. Here?s another plus: If you?re carb cycling, this one does double duty?it can work for both low and high-carb meals. Check below for all the info, and let?s get cooking! Or stir frying, actually. 😉

Roasted Garlic Beef-and-Veggie Stir Fry
Serves 4

What you?ll need:

12 oz. sirloin steak, boneless and lean, cut into ? inch strips
2 spritzes of olive oil
4 tsp. low sodium soy sauce
1 1/3 tsp. cornstarch
? tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. roasted garlic and bell pepper seasoning
4 cups assorted veggies: broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, snow peas, etc.

What you?ll do:

1. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, cornstarch, ginger, roasted garlic and bell pepper seasoning, and water. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef in small batches and cook until no longer pink (about 5 minutes). Remove from pan and repeat until all meat is cooked.
3. If needed, spritz the pan with a bit more oil. Add the veggies and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Add the meat to the veggies and stir in soy sauce mixture. Continue stirring while the liquid comes to a boil. Simmer for about a minute more.
5. Serve immediately, or portion out and store in the fridge or freezer until you?re ready to reheat and enjoy.

  1. I eat old fashioned rolled oats for breakfast most days with fresh/frozen/dried fruits. I can get tired of them. I would love to see easy make ahead and freezable breakfast recipes.

  2. Tweeted, shared, commented, included the hashtag… I think I have it all covered! I love recipes using chicken breasts!

  3. How about a recipe for “fried” chicken and mac & cheese? I have been able to incorporate a lot of good things into our families dinners/lunches, but I’ve yet to find a good one for good old fashioned mac & cheese and “fried” chicken.

  4. I would love to get the #ChooseMoreLoseMore book. I’m going to make this recipe tonight. I’d love some more quick kid friendly recipes. Thanks!

  5. I would love to see some recipes for work lunches. I am always having a hard time on what to bring to work that is healthy for my hubs and myself. Thanks for all you and Chris do!!!

  6. Heidi!
    I would love to see some recipes with garlic because I love incorporating garlic into my food! All the best!
