Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

You will never guess this dish is healthy for you, I can tell you it's one of my fav dishes and super easy to make. You can serve with lettuce wraps, brown rice or noodles. I usually serve this dish with brown rice, but if you want to keep the calories and carbs down then lettuce wraps are great! It's about 5 points per serving and serves 4 people.
