Ingredients:

1/2 c white basmati rice

3/4 c water

3 inch piece of fresh ginger

1/4 c canola or peanut oil

1/2 yellow onion, sliced

1 Skirt Steak/Sirloin (about 4-5oz), pounded to 1/2 inch and cut into strips

2 med sized carrots, cut lengthwise and chopped

1 red potato, diced

1 c diced tomatoes (no salt added)

1 T madras (hot) curry powder

1 T cinnamon

1 pinch cayenne powder

1 c broccoli florets

1/4 c low fat greek yogurt

1 handful of cilantro

1-2 pieces of whole wheat naan

salt/pepper to taste

1. First prepare the rice. Combine rice, water, and a 2 inch piece of ginger in the pot. Bring to boil, then cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.

2. Heat a wok or rimmed skillet to med-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper. Once wok is heated, add oil and the beef immediately. Sautee beef until just browned (about 1 minute on each side). Then set aside beef and cover with foil.

3. Add onion, carrots, and potatoes to wok, and season with salt and pepper. Sautee for about 5 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Toss in broccoli and sautee for 1 minute. Then add the reserved beef, canned tomatoes, curry powder, cinammon and cayenne and stir to coat all the meat and vegetables. Turn heat to med low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.

4. Next, remove from heat and stir in the yogurt and cilantro (I didn't add cilantro bc I didn't have it, so no biggie if you omit it). Serve on top of rice and with some warm naan on the side.

Serves 2-3
