Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 6 cups water
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• ½ cup sliced green onion
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fat-free Italian dressing
• ¾ pound round steak, cut into strips
• 5 cubes beef bouillon
• 4 ounces linguine pasta, uncooked
• ½ cup fat free beef broth
• 1 pound broccoli, separated into florets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a shallow glass dish or bowl, stir together the soy sauce, Italian dressing, cornstarch, garlic and ginger. Place steak strips in the mixture to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the beef is marinating, combine the bouillon cubes in water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, and add pasta. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove beef from marinade with a slotted spoon, and place in the hot skillet. Discard marinade. Cook beef, stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, or until mostly browned. Stir in the beef broth, mushrooms and green onions, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove lid, add broccoli, and cook until broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp. Add drained linguine, toss, and serve.
