High Protein Low Carb Pepper Steak Weight Watchers Friendly Healthy Dinner

The Ingredients

Lean Sirloin Steak: Lean cuts of beef like flank steak or sirloin are an excellent source of high-quality protein, which helps support muscle maintenance and keeps you feeling full longer.

Bell Peppers: Bell peppers are low in carbs but high in nutrients, especially vitamin C and antioxidants.

They add natural sweetness, crunch, and color to the dish while boosting volume, making your meal feel larger without adding many calories or points.

Onion: Onions provide flavor without excess fat or carbs and contain fiber and antioxidants that support digestion and heart health.

Garlic: Garlic is packed with compounds known to support immune health and heart health.

It enhances flavor naturally, reducing the need for added sugar or heavy sauces.

Low-Sodium Soy Sauce: Low-sodium soy sauce adds umami flavor while helping keep sodium in check.

A little goes a long way, allowing you to enjoy bold taste without unnecessary carbs or calories.

Oyster Sauce: Using a small amount of oyster sauce adds richness and depth without relying on sugar-heavy sauces. Because it’s used in moderation, it fits well into a low carb, Weight Watchers friendly plan.

Sesame Oil: Just a teaspoon of sesame oil adds intense flavor, meaning you don’t need large amounts of fat. It also contains healthy fats that help enhance satiety.

Beef Broth: Low-sodium beef broth helps create a flavorful sauce while keeping the dish light and low carb.

Cornstarch: A small amount of cornstarch thickens the sauce so it coats the steak and vegetables nicely. Using just a tablespoon keeps carbs low while avoiding watery stir-fries.

Black Pepper: Black pepper adds that signature bite to pepper steak.
