Sesame Steak Power Bowl with Vegetables

Having bariatric surgery doesn’t mean that you can not enjoy eating, you can prepare easy flavorful dinners that are the order of the day. This simple beef and veggies stir fry is healthy, delicious, and whips up in about 20-30 minutes. It’s a hit with the kids too!

This recipe specifically calls for frozen broccoli because it does not require pre-steaming. When it thaws it becomes the ideal texture for making a quick low carb stir fry.
