If you're fed up with complicated meals that take too long, have too many ingredients and just don't WOW you with flavor- I hear you. If it's not easy, fast and delicious, it's not for me, my life or my kitchen!

This is really one of my signature "LBD (Little Black Dress) Recipes" in that you can mix and match the protein and the veggies to make multiples of meals in minutes. Lean, Green, Light and Luscious, give this one a try!

STACEY SAYS
* To slice the beef super thinly, wrap it in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for an hour until it's "slightly" frozen. When the beef is firm like this, it makes it super easy to slice!
** To make this dish more colorful and interesting, you may add additional vegetables such as sliced peppers, water chestnuts and carrots (if transitioning or NOT on 5 & 1) Be sure to measure and count these in your final meal.
